St. Maarten

St. Maarten is a unique Caribbean island divided between French and Dutch territories, offering luxury accommodations, world-class dining, and pristine beaches. Known for its vibrant culture, duty-free shopping, and stunning natural beauty, the island provides an ideal setting for discerning travelers seeking both relaxation and sophistication.

The Gateway Island

St. Maarten splits between Dutch and French governance. The Dutch side (Sint Maarten) handles the international airport and commercial infrastructure. The French side (Saint-Martin) concentrates luxury villas, particularly in Terres Basses and Lowlands.

This dual structure means you get European dining standards with US-style accessibility. Most luxury properties sit on the French side within 15-30 minutes of the airport.
