Half-French/half-Dutch and wholly delightful St. Maarten is the smallest territory in the world to be shared by two sovereign states. You´ll find superb cuisine, cafes and boutiques in French St. Martin, and flower boxes on the Dutch side. Take a scenic island drive, drive a birdie at Mullet Bay, or drive a great bargain at one of the duty-free shops; St. Maarten features some of the best buys in the Caribbean.

 

The waterfront warehouses where gold-hungry pirates once stored their booty now house treasure of another kind: duty-free china, watches, jewelry and other luxury goods. Shopping is one of the big onshore attractions in Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the US Virgin Islands. Offshore, colorful coral reefs in turquoise waters lure snorkelers and scuba divers from all over the world. And everywhere, there´s spectacular scenery everyone can enjoy!
