Come and Play in St Martin

Come and Play in St Martin

Saint Martin is an adult’s playground, and there’s plenty to keep you entertained! It’s a shopper’s paradise, with duty-free shopping available on both the French and the Dutch side (Saint Maarten). Luxury items from all over the world, French and Italian clothing fashions, Dutch and Japanese electronics, Indonesian batiks and Chinese embroidery, jewelry, leather, crystal, liquors, and fine porcelain – free of all taxes and customs – can be found at bargain prices. The French side provides a more leisurely shopping experience since the crowds from the cruise ships tend to be attracted more to the Dutch side.

Also, of course there is amazing beaches to swim, fish, snorkel and scuba dive, yachts to lounge on, forts to explore … and more!

As you can imagine, the island comes to live in a whole new way after dark. Hit the clubs for some live music, or a late-night jazz club session, and why not explore one of the eight casinos on the Dutch side?

Whatever your mood, there’ll be plenty of fun to be had! Santé!
