Why Go To St. Maarten

Saint Martin, shared by France and the Netherlands, offers a unique blend of European sophistication and Caribbean warmth. The island is split into French Saint-Martin in the north and Dutch Sint Maarten in the south, creating two cultures on one stunning island.

Whether you’re indulging in gourmet French cuisine in Grand Case, shopping in bustling Philipsburg, or dancing to live music on the beach, the island delivers endless energy and charm. Its 37 beaches range from family-friendly shores to secluded coves perfect for a romantic escape.

Beyond the sand, Saint Martin shines with its variety β€” from luxury shopping and casinos, to eco-adventures, and cultural festivals. Add in snorkeling, sailing, and a vibrant nightlife, and it’s easy to see why this island is a perennial favorite for travelers from around the world.
