Say hello to
A beach-hopping family adventure - with a French twist.
The French side of Saint Martin is a Mango Tree favorite. Plan your trip with confidence and ease - and without losing hours of your life.
Designed for parents, by parents.
Take a breath.
Do you have trip planning fatigue? Analysis paralysis? Overwhelm? All of the above?
It takes so much time to plan a family trip the right way. You need a cool hotel in your budget with space for families; delicious restaurants with kid-friendly options; and tours that are actually worth your money.
You simply don't have enough hours in the day to find it all.
We know because we're parents too.
So you scramble your way through the planning and hope for the best. Overwhelm sets in, and it stops being fun. But to plan a great family trip, you have to put in the time. Right?
Not anymore!
Mango Tree Travel grew out of a deeply held belief that planning great travel experiences with kids should be easier. Travel can recharge and reconnect us – but not if planning that travel is stressful.
Our Travel Guides were designed to make it easy on you to confidently book a vacation you can enjoy – and your kids too.
Top 4 reasons to choose Saint Martin for your family trip:
The Blend of Mediterranean & Caribbean Vibes - The French side of Saint Martin seamlessly blends Caribbean culture with French cuisine and style - with little cafes and restaurants dotting its beaches, and boutique hotels in lieu of massive resorts. We love the laid-back vibes when traveling with kids. Spend your days drinking a crisp glass of wine at a stylish beach bar, while your kids play in the sand, and your evenings dining at a Creole lolo.
The Food - Of all our Travel Guides, this one has the longest restaurant guide. You'll find a huge selection of fine dining and casual options, good wine lists, and lots of kids menus too. Many top restaurants are walkable from our favorite hotel and villa locations too.
The Beaches - Saint Martin has 37 beaches, many with beachfront cafes and calm waters, and so you could easily spend your days enjoying a new beach each day. But there's also just enough happening on land for beach break days too.
The Size - Rent a car and explore! That's the way to enjoy French Saint Martin, and the small size of the island makes it a breeze. You can cross the island in 45 minutes, and if you stay in a central location, you can an easily access some of the island's best neighborhoods with a 10-15 minute drive on easy to handle roads.

Cristina (family of 4)
“Our trip was amazing! St. Martin felt like the perfect destination for our first Caribbean vacation and for our kids' current ages. … We did lots of fun stuff, but felt like there was enough that we didn't quite get to that we could easily see ourselves going back!”
Caroline (Family of 4)

Mango Tree came to life because I truly believe that traveling with our kids is one of the best things we can do for them – and for ourselves. As parents, you should not be forced to go to “family resorts” with cartoon-themed breakfasts for every vacation.
I want to give parents like you a lifeline back to the way you traveled before kids - with the added comfort of knowing your family can enjoy the journey by your side. At Mango Tree, we hunt for hotels and experiences with the je ne sais quoi that leave you wanting more. Your time is too precious to settle for less.
