Wedding Destinations: St. Maarten

Description of St. Maarten

Visitors can spend weeks enjoying the water sports, golf, tennis, gambling casinos and shopping in St. Maarten. It is well known for being the smallest island in the world that is divided between two sovereign nations: half is Dutch and half is French.

The Dutch side is more Americanized than the French side. Condominium developments, big resorts, and shopping areas take up a good par to fht landscape. Beaches on the Dutch side are as fabulous as on the French side.

The French side has much of the flavor and ambiance found on other French islands in the Caribbean. Tourists will notice the difference in style especially if they din out or accidentally happen upon a “clothing optional” beach. Menus are in French and English and most residents speak both languages.
