La Samanna overlooks Baie Longue, one of Saint Martin's longest and most secluded beaches, on the island's French side. The resort sits within Terres Basses, approximately 20 minutes from Marigot (the capital) and 40 minutes from Philipsburg on the Dutch side.
Saint Martin's unique geography as a shared island creates a distinctive cultural environment. Nearby landmarks include Fort Louis and the Marigot market. The resort is 15 minutes from Princess Juliana International Airport and 20 minutes by ferry from Blowing Point, Anguilla.

Three restaurants serve different cuisines. L'Oursin, a seaside bistro, combines Provençal and Caribbean cooking. La Spiaggia, a stylish trattoria, serves light Italian cuisine with beach views.
