Sint Maarten

Sint Maarten is the smaller, Dutch part of a beautiful and lively Caribbean island shared peacefully with France. The Dutch section of the  island – only 17 square miles (44 sq km), of which five lie under the waters of lagoons and salt ponds – has become one of the Caribbean’s most popular vacation and shopping destinations.

In Philipsburg, the capital, there are more than 500 stores in pastel-colored, clapboard Dutch-style buildings selling luxury goods at 25 to 50 per cent below normal prices. Goods to the value of US$600 can be taken home duty-free from Sint Maarten by American citizens, many of whom arrive on cruise ships putting in for one-day shopping trips. For truly local shopping with a Caribbean flavor, do not miss Philipsburg’s Saturday market.

La Vista is an enchanting small resort, nestled at the bottom of lush green mountains in the Pelican Key Estates area of St. Maarten. A tasteful combination of traditional Antillean charm and European flavor - the result is nothing less than spectacular. Deluxe accommodations with fabulous panoramic views of the crystal blue Caribbean Sea, great amenities and friendly, personalized service await you in a lush tropical garden setting. Although a restaurant and two swimming pools are on property, the nearby Pelican Resort provides Watersports, Casino, Shops and a Health Spa.

Relax in the balmy sea breeze, sunbathe on the beach, snorkel, or cool off in the resort's pool. You can also enjoy breathtaking sunsets from your balcony as well as the serene sounds of the ocean right at your fingertips. For the adventurous, explore both the Dutch and French sides of the beautiful island. Philipsburg offers first-rate shopping while Marigot offers excellent prices on French goods. Hideaway is a great on-site
