St. Martin/ Sint Maarten A vacation here is like visiting two countries. To the south is the Dutch side, Sint Maarten. Philipsburg, its grand capital, is a cosmopolitan town offering some of the Caribbean's best duty-free shopping, glitzy casinos and popular bars. To the north is the French side, St. Martin. Miles of powdery beaches compliment the relaxed atmosphere that pervades the quaint boutiques and chic cafes in the capital of Marigot. Remarkable in its simplicity, the French side is a culinary paradise where one can sample all regions of French cuisine.
