Have A Beautiful Destination Wedding Or Honeymoon In St. Maarten

Sint Maarten is the Caribbean’s most exciting vacation destination! If you appreciate gourmet food, world class shopping, vibrant nightlife, pristine beaches, a year-round warm climate, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere with a Caribbean twist, Sint Maarten, or Saint Martin, is for you!

SINT MAARTEN – SAINT MARTIN provides vacationers the opportunity to enjoy three distinct cultures on one 37-square-mile island. There is the delightfulness and soberness of the Dutch on one side, the savoir-faire of the French on the other, and the blending of both with exotic native heritage.

Add dozens of beaches and lagoons, luxury hotels, elegant villas, and over 300 restaurants, and you may understand why St. Martin is the most visited of all the Leewards. All the great chefs, European, American, or Asian vie to compete in this gourmet capital of the Caribbean. Shopping on the island is duty-free and casinos, discos, and night clubs stay open till dawn. Jumbo jets from world centers land here, and charters allow visits to the smaller Leewards. There is something to satisfy every taste on St. Martin.

St. Maarten/St. Martin is an island that has accommodations to suit almost everybody’s budget or dream, right across the spectrum. She boasts everything from 5 star, first class, world-renowned hotels to charming little guesthouses, all-inclusive resorts, and time-share properties.

The island’s gorgeous beaches and beautiful resorts make it a popular destination for weddings abroad. When couples imagine their Caribbean weddings, they picture the turquoise water and royal blue sky of a sunny day on St. Maarten/St. Martin.

Many hotels are located close to or directly on the beach, have swimming pools, or feature both!

A number of larger resorts on the Dutch side have their own casinos, restaurants, and nightclubs right on the premises. At some resorts, you’d never have to leave except to go sightseeing.

For larger families or couples wishing for privacy, luxurious estate homes can be rented by the week.

For those who can only bear so much sun worshiping, St. Maarten/St. Martin boasts a huge array of activities to offer, for all ages and interests.

On the calmer side, there are many local and historical museums, art galleries and beauty spots to visit, and excursions leave several times a day to many of St. Maarten/St. Martin’s neighboring islands.
