This spectacular island beauty is located midway through the chain of islands in the Caribbean.
It is sunny and warm year-round, which means awesome summer glow 24/7! When you are not rocking it out at the beach, you can relax among the many cafes and excellent restaurants.
It is the smallest island in the world ever to have been partitioned between two different nations with the signing of the Treaty of Concordia. St. Martin/St. Maarten has been shared by the French and the Dutch in a spirit of neighbourly cooperation and mutual friendship for almost 350 years. Both sides maintain their rich culture, so the best part of going there is that you can not only walk across the island in a day, but it will be like walking across 2 very different countries.
By day explore the French side, St Martin, which emphasizes comfort and elegance. The beaches are secluded, the luxury resorts provide lavish accommodations, the divine restaurants offer the finest dining experiences and plentiful shops and markets await.
At night join the Dutch sides, St. Maarten, festivities. It is more developed but has an informal feel to daily life and is known as an active centre for trade and tourism. I would definitely suggest trying some of the exotic drinks made with the native rum-based guava berry liquors and trying your luck at the stunning casinos.
It is an ideal island to chillax on!
It’s definitely on the list of top 10 places to go!
