What was planned
According to Belmond, the season programme included a "Sail & Soul" wellness retreat from 10 to 14 December 2024 led by the Portuguese-born sailor and speaker Ricardo Diniz, who was coming from a similar retreat at Cap Juluca, Belmond's resort in Anguilla. Guests could book sessions individually, including catamaran trips and morning yoga. Belmond also described bee-themed wellness treatments, relaxed fine dining and holiday celebrations.
Recommend, a US travel-trade publication, reported the reopening date based on the same Belmond release. In July 2024, Caribbean Journal featured La Samanna in a guide to the French side, describing it as an 83-room boutique resort and noting a renovation that included a major refresh of its eight pool villas.
