Discover more about Loterie Farm

Loterie Farm, a hidden gem in St. Martin, offers a unique blend of history, adventure, and relaxation. This 135-acre property, nestled at the foot of Pic Paradis, was once a thriving sugar plantation dating back to 1721. Englishman Richard Bailey won the rights to establish the plantation in a 'loterie,' hence the name. The plantation operated until the mid-1800s when slavery was abolished. In 2003, former actor William 'BJ' Welch purchased the derelict property after Hurricane Luis in 1995, transforming it into a nature retreat. Today, Loterie Farm stands as a testament to the island's history and natural beauty, offering a range of activities for visitors of all ages. Thrill-seekers can explore the rainforest canopy on ziplines and treetop adventure courses. Hiking trails wind through the lush landscape, leading to stunning viewpoints and the peak of Pic Paradis. For a more relaxed experience, visitors can lounge by the spring-fed swimming pool, enjoying handcrafted cocktails and Caribbean-inspired cuisine at the Jungle Room restaurant. Loterie Farm is also home to diverse flora and fauna, including monkeys, iguanas, and various plant species. It's a place where nature's serenity meets adventure's thrill.
