It is advisable to book well in advance during the high season, which runs from December to April. It is worth considering the distance to the attractions you are interested in and consider hiring a car for more flexibility.
Below is a guide to the best areas on the island, both on the French and Dutch sides.
Marigot, the capital of the French part of Saint-Martin, is the ideal place for travellers who wish to immerse themselves in the local culture and enjoy a lively atmosphere.

Shopping enthusiasts will also love Marigot, which is full of boutiques where they can find unique clothing, jewellery, souvenirs and enjoy delicious French cuisine in the town’s restaurants while admiring the view of the marina.
Located in the north-east, the hamlet of Cul-de-Sac is not far from Pinel Island and Anse Marcel, and is another great place to stay in Saint-Martin.
In addition to the beach and pretty spots for diving or snorkelling, Cul-de-Sac offers nice little restaurants and pleasant hotels, perfect for your stay, where you can also discover the Saint-Martin National Natural Park or even the island of Tintamarre, an uninhabited and protected area where beautiful excursions await you.
The area is therefore particularly suited to lovers of active holidays and water sports as well as travellers looking for a quiet holiday, a peaceful atmosphere and a connection with nature.
A tourist centre on the French side of the island, it is often considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and is a true paradise for lovers of sun, white sand and crystal-clear waters. This beautiful bay offers breathtaking scenery, lined with palm trees and relaxing beach bars.
Orient Bay Beach is ideal for relaxing, sunbathing and swimming in the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, although you can also indulge in a number of exciting water activities, such as snorkelling, kitesurfing, windsurfing and sailing. Thrill-seekers can also try paragliding or water-skiing.
Orient Bay is also home to a good selection of restaurants, bars and shops, allowing for dining and shopping close to the beach. It is therefore perfect for fun-seeking travellers, lovers of paradise beaches and water activities, or for those who want to relax without even needing to rent a car, as all services are on site.
