Hallo Allemaal!
Bonjour à tous!
Let me tell you about the smallest landmass that consist of two nations!

The southern part of the country “Sint Maarten” aka “the Dutch side” is a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands whereas, the northern part “Saint Martin” aka “the French side” is a part of the Collectivity of France. Not only do these two cultures make the 37 square mile country unique, but the fact that this beautiful destination is considered to be a melting pot. There are over 120 nationalities living on this country causing there to be an incomparable fusion of culture that make up this already unique destination.

Despite being one of the smallest Caribbean countries in size, there are a plethora of must do’s and must see’s! This majestic place is home of 37 beaches, the steepest zip line in the world and infamously known to have one, if not the most exhilarating landings and take offs in the world (Google It!). You can explore the towns Philipsburg and Marigot and bask in their superiority while shopping Duty Free!
Enjoy Jet Skis, Parasailing and ATV Tours guaranteed to leave your mind blown.

If adventure is not your thing, relax at on of the numerous therapeutic spas and ooooh how can I forget a day of complete luxury and bliss in the Cabanas, Pools and Jacuzzi at Lotterie Farm! Well, actually there is a bit of adventure there too ;)
If you’re not brave enough to conquer the steepest zip line “The Flying Dutchman”, there are zip lines available at Lotterie Farm along with a refreshing trail hike.
Some of the most delicious dishes and drinks are available right on site too!

Don’t think that they’re forgetting about the foodies! The country excels in that niche; Rum Tours & Various Food Options! Being a melting pot there a number of appetizing cuisine at your hand reach; Lebanese, Indian, Jamaican, Italian and sooo much more. Must try restaurants include JAX Steakhouse, Big Fish and Sale and Pepe! If you’d like more local cuisines, stop at a food truck on the Pond Fill for THE most delectable ribs and Captains Rib Shack located in Simpson Bay.
St Maarten/ St Martin neighbors Anguilla, St Barts and Saba, they are so close that there are day trips to each! There is so much to do in this country, and so much money to spend (Euros, Antillean Guilders & US Dollars)! If you’re looking for a preview, I recommend the “4 Day MAP Trip”, but I promise you, with the preview, you’ll want way more! So why not start with the “10 Day Thrill Trip”!
I Recommend, I Recommend, I Recommend!
