Get Ready to Reset – Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten
By Karen Burshtein
When your batteries are running low, head to the ultimate recharging station in the Caribbean: The Sonesta Resorts at Maho Beach in Sint Maarten.
Here you’ll find two adjacent all-inclusive properties, each with a distinct aura. Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa, revered for its fantastic food, location and service, is family-friendly, with more amenities than you can count, and all the in-room features you’re seeking. Next door, the adults-only five-star Sonesta Ocean Point Resort embraces sustainability, and features chic design with contemporary Caribbean furnishings and artwork. Guests of Ocean Point even have access to the adjacent Maho Beach for double beach pleasure.
But moreover, across the board is Sonesta Resorts’ outstanding approach to wellness, which it effortlessly curates in a serene and pampered setting.
Now begin your year with a grounding focus on detox, as you unwind, catch up on your reading, all while soaking up some sun in spectacular scenery.
- Sun Salutations by the Sea
Awaken your body with sunrise yoga in the Zen Garden as the morning sun warms your face. If Pilates, meditation, HIIT or Socacise are more your thing, you can join a class…no stress (naturally). Each activity is part of Sonesta Resorts 3-night minimum SunFit Body + Lifestyle Program. As is the selection of healthy menu options curated by the resident chef. While relaxing in your room, a daily vitality drink will be delivered. The program offers a one-category room upgrade.
- Duck Out of Reality on a Midweek Getaway
Choose “The Midweek Unwind” package to detach from daily pressures. Your stay begins with a calming in-room welcome featuring healing herbal teas crafted to relieve stress, support detoxification, improve sleep, and elevate your mood. Unwind further with a 25-minute neck and back massage at Serenity Spa, then wander the tropical grounds as you decide whether to join an afternoon dance class or simply savour the serene vibe.
- An Island Flow Massage in a Cliffside Gazebo
A cliffside massage at Serenity Spa is a must. For this aromatherapy journey, choose a customized fragrance like sweet orange and bergamot to reduce anxiety or lavender and sandalwood to help ease tension. Skilled therapists help boost circulation and encourage relaxation with the array of massages on offer. Scroll the wellness offerings on a resort iPad from the comfort of your poolside lounge chair, or book a tailored fitness consultation.
- Workouts with Wow Views
Designed with breathtaking views of an impossibly turquoise sea, the Ocean Point fitness centre has ample cardiovascular workout and weight-training equipment. If you’d rather do laps, the signature Edge Pool, a cliffside, zero-entry pool, awaits. In the evening, reward yourself with a specialty cocktail at the Cloud 9 Rooftop Bar. Enjoy live music and some of the island’s best plane-spotting views, and then continue the wow factor at Azul for a delish dinner of freshly caught fish.
- And So to Bed
There’s nothing better than sinking into a juicy book on vacation. But if you don’t want to lug that 745-page novel with you, you’ll love Sonesta Resorts new Bedside Reading Program. Leaning into studies that just six minutes of reading can reduce stress by up to 68 percent, the program offers complimentary access to a curated selection of e-books, audiobooks, podcasts and meditations. Choose between timeless classics, thrillers, business insights, and children’s stories. The download is yours to keep.
