St Maarten*
St Martin or St Maarten? This is where can you find fabulous French patisserie, eat spicy Creole chicken and down authentic Dutch beer, all under the Caribbean sun!
Welcome to the island with a split personality - one half is Dutch while the other has all the ‘Ooh La La’ of La Belle France! For the French side, think chic boutiques and seriously good restaurants. For the Dutch side, think lively atmosphere and Vuitton-bag-loads of Duty Free shopping. Sip café au lait in St Marigot or bare all you dare on the Orient Beach. Go Dutch over lunch in bustling Philipsburg or sip a guavaberry colada in a waterside bar.
