Plan Your Vacation on the Caribbean Island of Sint Maarten - Saint Martin Here

air france landing over maho beach

Sint Maarten is called the most multicultural of all Caribbean Islands, with over one hundred nationalities living peacefully together. Many visitors say that ours is the most fun island, with the best restaurants, beach bars, and vibrant nightlife. Once you visit, you will find a lifestyle and a vacation experience very different from other tropical destinations.

SINT MAARTEN - SAINT MARTIN provides vacationers the opportunity to enjoy three distinct cultures on our tiny dot in the Caribbean Sea. There is 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, a mountain range, luxury hotels, elegant villas, and over 300 restaurants, you'll understand why St. Maarten - St. Martin is the most visited of all the Leeward islands. 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 nightclubs stay open till dawn. Jumbo jets from world centers land here, and charters allow visits to the smaller islands of the Lesser Antilles. There is something to satisfy every taste on St-Martin ...

There are two official ways to spell the name of our island: Sint Maarten and Saint Martin. But there are also popular misspellings: Air France has been sending passengers for the past decades to St. Marteen, and airlines from the US like to fly to Saint Maarten. Other popular misspellings are St. Martens, Saint Martan.
