Shared between France and the Netherlands, St Martin/St Maarten is a small but surprisingly diverse island in the northeastern Caribbean, offering two distinct personalities in one compact destination. The French side is relaxed and gastronomic, with beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants, and a quietly sophisticated atmosphere. The Dutch side brings more energy with lively bars, casinos, duty-free shopping, and the famous Maho Beach, where planes skim the rooftops on their approach to the runway. Together they make for one of the most varied and well-rounded island experiences in the Caribbean.

St Martin/St Maarten is one of the most intriguing islands in the Caribbean. It is a small, 37-square-mile island shared between France and the Netherlands, each side with its own distinct character, culture, and atmosphere. It is a wonderful option for those looking for something different from the more familiar Caribbean destinations: with the combination of French gastronomy, Dutch energy, stunning beaches, and a cosmopolitan, well-travelled crowd, it is one of the most sophisticated and well-rounded islands in the region.
The French side, Saint-Martin, is where many of the island's luxury villas are located, particularly around the areas of Terres Basses, often referred to as the French Lowlands, and the hillsides above Orient Bay and Anse Marcel. Grand Case is the culinary heart of the island, with a single street lined with some of the best restaurants in the region, from simple lolos (local BBQ shacks) to sophisticated French dining.The beaches on the French side are among the best on the island, including Orient Bay, which has a lively beach club scene, and the quieter, more secluded stretches around Anse Marcel and Friar's Bay. Marigot, the French capital, has a pretty harbour, a daily market, and a good selection of boutique shopping with a distinctly French flavour.
The Dutch side, Sint Maarten, brings a livelier energy, with Philipsburg as the main hub. The famous Maho Beach, where aircraft from the airport pass just metres overhead on approach, is one of the island's most talked-about and unusual experiences. The nightlife on the Dutch side is the best on the island, and there is a good range of restaurants, casinos, and beach bars for those who want a bit more energy to their evenings.
Although the island has two official currencies, Euros on the French side and the Caribbean Guilder on the Dutch side, US Dollars are widely accepted, as are credit and debit cards.
The island is also a great stop on an island hopping holiday, with Anguilla only a 20 minute ferry ride from the French side, St Barths a short flight or fast ferry and a number of other smaller islands are within easy day-trip reach by boat.
Both Anguilla and St Barths can be reached for day trips, Anguilla on a 20 min ferry from the French side, and St Barths a short flight or fast ferry. There are also plenty of sailing and boat trips as the waters around St Martin are excellent for sailing, and a day charter taking in some of the surrounding smaller islands and secluded bays is one of the best ways to spend a day. There are also several reefs around the island and nearby Creole Rock that are perfect for snorkelling and diving.
There are several great spots for dining on the island. Grand Case is the island's culinary capital, with a strip of excellent restaurants ranging from casual lolos to sophisticated French dining. Marigot Market is a colourful daily market on the French side selling local produce, spices, and crafts, worth visiting on a Wednesday or Saturday morning when it's at its busiest. On the Dutch side Simpson Bay is the most popular strip for casual dining, beach bars, and nightlife.
The most iconic beach on the island is Maho Beach, where the planes fly just meters overhead on their approach, but for a more scenic and unspoilt option we recommend Baie Rouge or Long Bay. Orient Bay is the liveliest beach on the French side, with beach clubs, watersports, and a good selection of restaurants and bars right on the sand.
This is when the weather will be most reliable with warm sunny days, lower humidity, and very little rainfall. Temperatures sit comfortably in the mid to high 20s°C throughout, and the trade winds keep things pleasantly cool even at the hottest part of the day. It's also when the island is at its most vibrant.
May and June are still a great time to visit, with lower crowds, warm temperatures and not too much rain. July can be humid with passing storms. Hurricane season is at its peak from August to October and some businesses could be closed during this time.
