We prove that every JBW^*-triple M with rank one or rank bigger than or equal to three satisfies the Mazur--Ulam property, that is, every surjective isometry from the unit sphere of M onto the unit sphere of another Banach space Y extends to a surjective real linear isometry from M onto Y. We also show that the same conclusion holds if M is not a JBW^*-triple factor, or more generally, if the atomic part of M** is not a rank two Cartan factor.
