SINT MAARTEN - SAINT MARTIN provides vacationers the opportunity to enjoy three distinct cultures on one 37 square mile island. There's the delightfulness and soberness of the Dutch on one side, the savoir-faire of the French on the other, and the blending of both with exotic native heritage. Add dozens of beaches and lagoons, luxury hotels, elegant villas, and over 300 restaurants and you may understand why St. Martin is the most visited of all the Leewards. All the great chefs, European, American, or Asian vie to compete in this gourmet capital of the Caribbean, creating cuisines equal to the best of Paris or New York. Shopping on the island is duty free and casinos, discos and night clubs stay open till dawn. Jumbo jets from world centers land here and charters allow visits to the smaller Leewards. There is something to satisfy every taste on St.Martin ...
St. Martin/St. Maarten is perfectly located and equipped for day-trips to its neighboring islands. Whether you fancy a deserted beach in Anguilla, a jungle trek through the mountains of Saba, a taste of the 'Good Life' in St. Barths or the peace of 'off the beaten track' paradise in St. Eustatius, journey times are negligible.
Slightly further afield are the islands of St Kitts and Nevis, Barbuda, Antigua and Tortola, and if you are on an extended vacation to the Caribbean, pretty much every island is accessible, with well timetabled flights and innumerable boats and ferries for your chosen 'island-hop'.
