Can’t pick between France and the Netherlands for your next vacation? Worry no more because St Maarten can give you both. This Caribbean island shared by the two countries has a fascinating collection of nude beaches, casinos, duty-free shops, and the most delicious rums. Besides the sea, it is also characterized by a chain of hills and valleys, giving way to many dry gullies and hiking trails. Pic Paradis, the island’s tallest hill on the French side, has a beautiful trail that allows you to reach the summit. Front Street at Philipsburg with its colorful buildings is a wonderful place for duty-free shopping. For adventurers in the water, don’t miss Mullet Bay and Simpson Bay beaches. No wonder this island is a magnet for tourists, with all these wonderful attractions! If you’re planning an extended stay, here are the best long-term rentals in St Maarten.
