ST. MAARTEN ST. MARTINA little out of the blue.Your island starts here
Food, people & island culture

Come hungry.

Open-air grills, village tables and recipes with a story. Let your appetite lead, and leave room to ask about what is on the plate.

A few places
to begin.

Save the ones that catch your eye. Your island notebook will keep them together.

01
French St. Martin area

Grand Case

A beach village with a serious appetite. Grand Case brings open-air grills and more elaborate dining into the same delicious conversation, with the shore never far from your plans. Arrive curious, leave the afternoon loose and make dinner count.

02
French St. Martin area

Marigot

The French-side capital invites a morning without much of an agenda. Browse around the waterfront, look up at Fort Louis and follow your appetite through a town where a small discovery can become the whole point of the day.

03
French St. Martin area

French Quarter

Also known as Quartier d’Orléans, this community rewards curiosity about the island beyond its coastline. Begin with Amuseum Naturalis, where nature and heritage offer a thoughtful introduction to the place, its people and the stories carried between generations.

04
Dutch St. Maarten area

Simpson Bay

A beach, a lagoon and a wonderfully full evening. Simpson Bay puts the island’s maritime life in the foreground, with boats, places to eat and plenty of reasons to let lunch turn into your plans for later.
