Escape to Paradise

Experiences

Gaze up at open blue skies as planes glide past, then settle beneath the shade of beachside cabanas as waves roll along the shore. As evening approaches, the island comes alive with Caribbean, Latin, steel pan, and French music. By day, cross to neighboring islands by ferry, explore more than 50 dive sites below the surface, or feel the rush of a tandem parachute jump from 10,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea. Complete the experience in Grand Case, where the island’s culinary heritage gathers each Tuesday night in its celebrated street festival.

Life by the Sea

An Island State of Mind

Life along the water shapes each day, from sunrise yoga and water aerobics to evenings accompanied by live music near the pool. When the island calls, venture offshore to discover the Underwater Museum, a gallery of 300 reef sculptures set beneath St. Maarten’s coast.

In an intimate group, you taste as you go, compare notes, and pick up techniques you’d miss on your own.
