Minister of Vromi Gives Update on Mullet Bay

A Minister of VROMI provided an update following a significant ruling by the Court of First Instance concerning Mullet Bay Beach. The Court confirmed that Mullet Bay Beach is public property belonging to the people of Sint Maarten, resolving a long-standing ownership question. This judgment stemmed from proceedings initiated by Sun Resorts Limited N.V. against the Country of Sint Maarten. The Court accepted the Government's legal position, affirming that Sun Resorts never acquired ownership of the beach itself. This decision provides long-term legal certainty, ensuring Mullet Bay Beach remains accessible for public enjoyment by residents and visitors. The Minister indicated transparency regarding future steps.
