Only in St. Maarten

​

As you make your way through the island you might hear a local say, “Only in St. Maarten,” and there’s no better way to truly explain the unforgettable attractions our little slice of heaven has to offer. Thrill-seekers can’t miss out on the scenic views offered at the two highest points of the island. Conquer the Dutch side’s Sentry Hill, accessible at Rain Forest Adventure, from which you can zip down the steepest zipline in the world! Then catch your breath and take a hike to explore the French side’s Pic Paradis. Reach your arms out and hear the airplanes roar at one of St. Maarten’s most entertaining spots: Maho Beach. Here, the end of the runway at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) and the ocean meet. Planes take off just overhead and offer spectacular views you can’t get anywhere else. The planes truly feel close enough to touch. Don’t forget to take an island tour for an insider look at the unique landscape and experience the cultural diversity of the smallest island to be divided between two countries. Only in St. Maarten!
