Discover Sint Maarten
Aqua Resort & Villas
Two nations, thirty-seven beaches, and your resort in the middle
Some islands you visit. Sint Maarten you live: lunch with your feet in the sand, a crossing to Anguilla, a French table in Grand Case, a night that stretches on in Simpson Bay. And every evening, the Cupecoy lagoon to come home to.
Five Ways to Live the Island

On one side, Dutch energy — casinos, beach bars, lively shores. On the other, French art de vivre — celebrated tables, wild coves. In between, 87 km² you can cross in half an hour, with Cupecoy sitting right on the line. Pick your first craving.
The Beach Clubs
Loungers at the water's edge, refined kitchens, and music until sunset: from Mullet Bay's quiet chic to Orient Bay's party spirit.
