St. Maarten in a Nutshell
St Maarten’s beaches offer the quintessential Caribbean experience, from the lively amenities and boardwalk at Great Bay Beach in the capital Philipsburg to the famous Maho Beach, which sits at the end of the airport runway where you can watch the planes landing right over your head.
Orient Bay Beach is another popular spot and presents one of the longest stretches of beach on the island. With sun loungers and soft sands lapped by crystal-clear waters as far as the eye can see, this is the definition of idyllic. A wide range of water sports are on offer here too – it’s one of St Maarten’s premier kitesurfing spots – and there is an abundance of restaurants lining the coast, so you can easily make a whole day of it.
Excellent restaurants and bars can be found all over the island, particularly along the boardwalk in Philipsburg, as well as Simpson Bay, Maho, Orient Bay, Marigot, and Grand Case. For a beautiful waterfront dining experience, head to Skip Jack’s, which is set by the lagoon in Simpson Bay and delivers mouthwatering seafood as well as delicious steaks, ribs, pasta and salads.
Toppers Restaurant & Bar is a lively landmark venue that is most famous for its rum distillery and features a fantastic menu of freshly caught lobsters, plus a dinner-dance show every Thursday for all-night singing and dancing.
And if buzzing nightlife is high on your agenda during your stay, you’ll be delighted with what’s on offer in St Maarten. Most of the action can be found on the Dutch side of the island, with its profusion of live music haunts, casinos, and nightclubs to keep you going all night long. A quieter atmosphere can be found at sophisticated resort lounges or waterfront cafés, where the smooth sounds of reggae and gentle sea breeze will accompany your cocktails in style.
St Maarten offers a variety of activities beyond its shoreline. You can play golf, try your hand at padel ball, go on bike rides or hikes, or join an excursion. If you’re a fan of physical activities in the thick of nature and with stunning views, purchase a day pass for the award-winning Rainforest Adventure Park, which is home to the world’s steepest zipline and the Soualiga Sky Explorer chairlift for 360° views over St Maarten and neighbouring islands.
There are ten hiking trails around the island that cater to all ability levels. One of the best hikes takes you up Pic Paradis, the highest peak on St Maarten. It’s a relatively easy climb and you’ll be rewarded by your efforts with magnificent views from the top. And from Guana Bay to Point Blanche, you can also take a short hike to the shimmering Natural Pool, which provides you with a tranquil spot for a refreshing dip in the waters of this natural wonder.
