Introducing St Martin’s Island
Idyllic St Martin’s Island is everything that brash Cox’s Bazar is not. It’s the country’s only coral island, and home to a friendly, tomorrow-never-comes population of around 7000. The majority of the island’s inhabitants are Muslim, and live primarily off fishing.

St Martin’s Island is a special place with beaches that really do match the hype, but whether it will remain as such is a big question. Entrepreneurs are increasingly becoming aware of the island’s economic potential, though unfortunately not its environmental and cultural vulnerability. For the moment though it remains a place more for the discerning Bangladeshi tourist and therefore most foreign visitors find it a far more relaxing beach hang-out than its big brother up the coast.
