An overview of Sint Maarten


Sint Maarten, a Caribbean jewel, shares the island of Saint Martin with the French side. Dutch and Caribbean cultures blend seamlessly in this dual-nation paradise. Visitors flock to pristine beaches, and bustling nightlife in Philipsburg and enjoy duty-free shopping. A harmonious fusion of cultures awaits on this captivating island.

Sint Maarten's distinctive character arises from its dual nationality. The island is divided between the French side (Saint Martin) and the Dutch side (Sint Maarten), each offering its own cultural nuances. While the border is nearly invisible, visitors can easily distinguish between the two sides by their respective flags, languages and customs.

Phillipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side, is a vibrant hub where travellers first encounter the unique charm of Sint Maarten. As you stroll along the iconic Boardwalk, you'll be greeted by a lively atmosphere with shops, restaurants and bars. The town's colourful facades and colonial-style architecture create a picturesque backdrop for exploration. One of the major draws for visitors to Phillipsburg is its reputation as a duty-free shopping haven. Front Street, the main shopping district, offers an array of boutiques and stores selling jewellery, watches, electronics, perfumes and designer clothing, all at tax-free prices. It's a shopper's paradise where you can find luxury items and unique souvenirs alike.

Sint Maarten's coastline is adorned with an array of pristine beaches that cater to every taste. The famous Maho Beach, located near the Princess Juliana International Airport, is known for its thrilling experience of watching planes land just metres above sunbathers. Orient Bay Beach on the French side is a serene haven with crystal-clear waters and water sports opportunities.
