Island is in northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal, about 9 km south of the tip of the Cox's Bazar-Teknaf peninsula. Small adjoining island separated at high tide, called Chera Dwip. It is about 8 kilometres (5 miles) west of the northwest coast of Myanmar.

The island was originally an extension of the Teknaf peninsula. It is the only coral island in Bangladesh. The first settlement started 250 years ago, in 18th century, by Arabian merchants who named the island 'Jazira'. During British occupation the island was named after the then Deputy Commissioner of Chittagong Mr Martin as St. Martin Island.

The St Martin's Island has a number of eco-systems, coral rich areas, mangroves, lagoons and stony areas. Marine sponges and their associated microbes produce an enormous array of antitumor, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, antibiotic, and other bioactive molecules. The presence of 153 species of sea weeds, 66 species of coral, 187 species of oysters, 240 species of fish and 120 species of birds was recorded in 2010.

The only internal transport for islanders is a van, and the roads are made of concrete. There has been no electricity supply from the national grid since a hurricane in 1991. All hotels run generators until 11 PM which is not allowed afterwards, so they rely on solar power.
