The island of St Maarten is divided into a Dutch and a French part. The Dutch town of Philipsburg impresses with pastel-coloured houses, narrow streets, a pretty waterfront promenade and a touch of the colonial era. Visit Fort Amsterdam and immerse yourself in the history of the first European settlers on the island. You will then find savoir-vivre in Marigot, the capital of the French part: Extravagant shops and fine cuisine – what more could you want?
