St. Martin Vacations
St. Maarten / St. Martin vacations are the epitome of Caribbean holidays. This tropical paradise in the northeast Caribbean has some of the best beaches, fabulous restaurants, unlimited entertainment / nightlife, many casinos and all kinds of water sports available for that wonderful Caribbean vacation you've always desired.
The smallest island in the world ever to have been partitioned between two different nations, St. Martin/St. Maarten has been shared by the French and the Dutch in a spirit of neighborly cooperation and mutual friendship for almost 350 years. Already one can see why St. Maarten/St. Martin vacations are special with the amalgamation of so many cultures in perfect harmony.
Located midway through the chain of islands in the Caribbean, St. Martin is sunny and warm year-round, averaging 29 degrees Celsius in summer and just 2 degrees cooler in winter. The island is buffeted by cooling trade winds that keep things temperate all year long. Average annual rainfall comes to about 45 inches, most of which occurs around late summer and early fall.
St Martin’s vacations reveal the French penchant for comfort and elegance. The beaches are secluded, the luxury resorts provide lavish accommodations, and the restaurants offer the finest dining experiences anywhere in the Caribbean. The latest French fashions can be found in many of the shops, and the smell of fresh croissants and pastries mixes everywhere with the spicy aromas of West Indian cooking.
On the other hand, St. Maarten with its busy cruise port and bustling commercial district has long been an active center for trade and tourism. More developed and at the same time more informal, it is very Dutch in flavor and still has strong ties with fellow compatriots in the other Netherlands Antilles. Between the two different cultures in St. Martin and St. Maarten, vacationers will be able to find just about every kind of activity they might want for a perfect holiday in the sun.
St. Maarten/ St. Martin vacations are just phenomenal. There is nothing missing from this small Caribbean island and will make a wonderful Caribbean vacation for you.
