Are you dreaming of a luxurious Caribbean beach getaway in an exotic destination where the food scene is so fabulous, it’s been dubbed the “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean”?

Shared by two European countries, there’s the Dutch south side of St. Maarten (or Sint Maarten), while au contraire on the north it’s vive la France. But in a five-minute drive from the main airport, you can choose a pair of all-inclusive beach properties that offer everything from casual pool or beach bites to fine-dining three-course menus set to a breathtaking cliffside backdrop.

Welcome to Sonesta Resorts Sint Maarten. For this epicurean delight, you can choose between the casual family-friendly Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa where five restaurants and other go-to spots for quick bites greet foodie fans. Or consider the adults-only Sonesta Ocean Point Resort on Sint Maarten’s westernmost point. This award-winning luxury property caters to luxury lovers with modern dining experiences. Either way, Maho Bay—the best beach on the island—is at your doorstep, alongside duty-free shopping, glamorous casinos, and sophisticated nightlife.

Only the Finest at Sonesta Ocean Point Resort

With its sleek design, Azul, Sonesta Ocean Point Resort’s signature restaurant, is a scene stealer. Reminiscent of the Mediterranean, diners enjoy sweeping bay views as the executive chef curates a menu sourced from nature that has fresh seafood and grilled specialties, complemented by a renowned wine list on offer.

For other eateries, don’t miss Portofino restaurant for pasta perfection and Northern Italian specialties, or head to Bluefin Restaurant + Bar for a front row seat to the sea as you build your own poke bowl from fresh, sustainable seafood.
