St. Maarten St. Martin Vacations and Tourism

St. Martin is the place to go if you want to indulge and relax in style amidst a decidedly European setting. This small island is shared by the Dutch and the French-- the half known as Sint Maarten is part of the Netherlands Antilles; the portion referred to as St. Martin is a territory of France. Definitely spend some time exploring both sides, they are surprisingly different. But if you're looking for an ideal Caribbean vacation-- filled with picturesque beaches and culinary experiences as sublime as those you'd find in Europe-- you'll want to spend the majority of your time in St. Martin.

St. Martin offers you some of the best dining and beaches in the Caribbean. Spend your days cavorting with locals and European tourists at packed beach side cafes or find your own secret retreat on one of the secluded stretches of glistening white sands. Cool off and refresh yourself in the unbelievably clear, bright blue waters. Take a lunch break and sample one of the French bistros, enjoying a leisurely meal with a perfectly-paired wine. After your mid-day meal, check out another beach-- this tiny island is packed with dozens to choose from. Feel yourself in a state of complete relaxation, your cares melting into the sands.

After you've enjoyed an exquisite dinner, head out to explore St. Martin's nightlife. If you're looking for some Vegas-style action, you'll want to spend your evening in Sint Maarten, where the casinos glow with glamor and excitement. In St. Martin, you'll find a wide range of night spots-- including laid back yet chic beach side bars, such as the oh-so-hip Calmos Cafe in Grand-Case.

And both sides of the island are excellent luxury shopping destinations, offering shoppers plenty of boutiques filled with European goods.

St. Martin presents you with the best of the Caribbean fused with a cosmopolitan, continental feel.
