Sint Maarten

Even if it is only 32 square kilometers, St Thomas has 1 million things to do. Go shopping, sailing, snorkeling and visiting the city, diving and lavish lunches.

Today, the charm goes beyond the natural gifts of the island. The political division of the land has given the island two very different personalities, like a pair of twins, although basically only one entity; both sides are engaged in unconscious tug-of-war as if to affirm their individuality. But, although neither likes to admit it, the best is obtained from the sum of the two parts.

Start with a walk in the heart of the city, exploring the bustling Independence Square, surrounded by historic colonial-style buildings and colorful local markets.
