Pelican Marina Residences: Exclusive island living

Picture a place where you can experience the Caribbean of your dreams slowly, with time to savor every island pleasure. Pelican Marina Residences is just such a place for the traveler looking for luxurious comfort or an island home.

Designed to capture the beautiful Caribbean sunsets, all the balconies have a splendid view of the azure ocean that becomes enwrapped by the golden rays of sunshine at the end of the day. The romantic and calming atmosphere of the residences soothes away the cares and everyday worries and transports you to a state of relaxation like no other.

The well-appointed villas are complemented by stunning, landscaped walkways along Simpson Bay Beach, which offers every convenience on the land-side: restaurants, bars, supermarket, shops, a casino and other amenities. Owners and their guests will enjoy a large pool, fitness center and use of the extensive options at the sister property, Pelican Resort. These include a water-sports activity center, car rentals and four floodlit tennis courts.

Minutes from Princess Juliana International Airport on the Dutch side, the newly completed upscale ocean front properties offer fractional ownership that gives the possibility of four weeks of vacation time in a luxury villa. Pelican has 83 two-bedroom villas that sleep up to six people. All of the units can be locked off into a one-bedroom suite for four or a junior suite for two. The luxury villas can also be rented on a weekly or nightly basis.

Pelican is St. Maarten’s first and still only fractional ownership property, and its villas are a hot commodity. A very limited number of villas have been set aside for “half shares” but buyers looking to capture a villa can opt for whole ownership.
