About Sint Maarten
The Collective of Saint Martin lies to the northern side of the island, occupying 21 square miles with Marigot as its Capital. While Sint Maarten occupies the southern part with 16 square miles and its capital is Philipsburg. St. Maarten/ St. Martin is unique in its own way, being that it is the smallest inhabited island in the world to be shared by two sovereign European countries, the Netherlands & France.
The island is commonly known as “The Friendly Island” or “Sunshine City” to many of its guests due to its weather that offers year-round sunny days and 37 beautiful beaches, each with its own charm and character. Some are secluded and romantic, while other beaches offer amazing locations for a fun family vacation. At several beaches, you can find many exciting water activities such as sailing, snorkeling, diving and much more.
Besides the water activities, there are plenty of hiking trails to explore the beautiful nature and sea scenery. If you are looking for a bit of history, be sure to visit the historical landmarks such as Fort Amsterdam and Fort Louis. While in Philipsburg, pay a visit to the most photographed monument on the island, which is The Court House.
The island is also known as the “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean” because of the diversity of its cuisine and the abundance of restaurants available, over 350 restaurants to discover! This makes it an extraordinary island that currently serves as the world’s most diverse menu of multi-cultural experiences, where continental sophistication is set free by scintillating island energy.
The official languages are Dutch and English. A local English-based Creole dialect is also spoken. The island's official currency is the Antillean guilder, but the American dollar is extensively used. The exchange rate between the two currencies is fixed. One American dollar can be exchanged for 1.80 Antillean guilders.
