St Maarten Award: The Friendliest Caribbean Island

St. Maarten is equally split between France and the Netherlands which is perhaps what makes it such a friendly island. Each side has been given a nickname for clarity and to feel like locals; guests can adopt the following. The French half is Saint Martin, while the Dutch nationality prefers to say Sint Maarten. While this tiny island is only 37 square miles, it is one of the smallest landmasses to be shared harmoniously by two sovereign states.

While the two residents of the island are comfortable with the dual nationality, they encourage a friendly sibling rivalry. Regardless of where you stay on the island, you will hear that is the “best part” of the island. The pressure and standards remain high. Try to keep your jaw off the ground with these picturesque beaches and culinary experiences that will blow you out of the northeastern Caribbean Sea.

Princess Heights Luxury Boutique Condo Hotel

Resort Award: Perfect For The Early Bird

Resort Introduction

This St Maarten resort is not all-inclusive but might have one of the best vantage points from your balcony. Located on Dawn Beach, which lives up to its name for its breathtaking sunrises, guests can also access a rooftop pool. However, we would be remiss not to mention that while this boutique hotel comes with expansive suites, it doesn't have an on-site restaurant and is located a few ways from downtown. While everything on the island is accessible due to its small size, guests will experience more local culture and civilization for meals.

The team at Princess Heights comes prepared with a list of restaurants and experiences guests can book independently or with their assistance. While this might not include all the bells and whistles of an all-inclusive St Maarten property, the Instagram and creative content you'll create is worth it!
