In a part of the world known for its enchanting islands, St. Maarten has a unique distinction. This tropical paradise is the world’s smallest land mass owned by two nations. (Two thirds of its 37 square miles are French; the remaining one third is Dutch.) Yet St. Maarten feels anything but small. You’ll be amazed by the diversity of its terrain, which includes a rugged central mountain range traced by winding roads that connect the island’s villages. Sheer cliffs overlook unspoiled white sand beaches. And Simpson Bay, the largest lagoon in the Caribbean, is one of the world’s great yachting centers, with luxurious yachts gracing its waters. (Think of Monte Carlo meets the Caribbean.) Combine all this natural beauty with sublime European cuisine, pulsating nightlife, energizing water sports and world-class shopping, and you will be swept away by your vacation in St. Maarten.
