Top Resorts in Sint Maarten (2025)

Set where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean, Sint Maarten is a small island with a big personality — think white-sand beaches, turquoise bays, and a lively mix of Dutch and French culture. Days here can be spent wandering colourful Marigot markets, watching planes skim low over Maho Beach, snorkelling in crystal coves, or dining by the waterfront in Philipsburg. Its resort scene matches that energy, from sleek beachfront hotels and hillside villas with sweeping views to affordable stays near the island’s nightlife. Whether you’re after relaxation or adventure, Sint Maarten offers the perfect base for both.

For families

• Tucked between Oyster Pond and Dawn Beach, Coral Beach Club offers private villas with panoramic Atlantic views. Each comes with a private pool, sea-facing terrace, and space for all ages. Families enjoy full-service amenities — babysitting, in-villa chefs, and water sports — plus a lively seafood restaurant right on the sand.
• Perched on its own peninsula, Divi Little Bay Beach resort is a family-friendly escape that promises laid-back island living with direct access to Little Bay Beach. Spacious suites in soft coastal hues, three swimming pools (including one for kids), tennis courts, and a full-service spa make it a hit for all ages. Water sports, sailing, and snorkelling keep the energy high, while three restaurants offer oceanfront dining for every taste.
