No matter where you're traveling from in the United States, Canada, Europe or beyond, St. Maarten is very easy to get to with numerous and frequent flight options. The island has two different airports, each with flights coming from a long list of places. From the United States, bachelorettes can fly direct to St. Maarten's Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) from Miami (MIA), Charlotte (CLT), New York City (JFK, LGA, and EWR), Atlanta (ATL), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Washington D.C. (IAD), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Philadelphia (PHL), and Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP). With one short connection, travelers from all corners of the United States can fly to St. Maarten with ease. From Canada, bachelorettes can fly direct to SXM from Toronto (YYZ) as well as Montreal (YUL). From Europe, bachelorettes can fly direct from Paris (CDG and ORY) and Amsterdam (AMS). For bachelorettes traveling from other Caribbean islands, it is even faster and easier.
While of course St. Maarten is home to numerous hotels, those looking for the ultimate bachelorette party experience would be best suited in their very own private villa rental or condominium. Surprisingly, private villa rentals in St. Maarten are often times cheaper per person than hotel accommodations. All of Sotheby's vacation rentals offer swimming pools, and many of them offer private chefs, butlers, and so much more. Want to wake up beachfront every morning? No problem. Want a private tennis court? Jacuzzis?... That too. Looking to book a private massage, yoga class, wine tasting, or anything else you can imagine? Your personal concierge and guest experience specialist will make it happen.
During the day, bachelorettes can enjoy 37 white sand beaches around its stunning coastline. Additionally, there's a wide variety of cultural experiences and activities to choose from including water sports like jet-skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, and boat charters as well as day parties, numerous restaurants, and a ton of shopping. For the thrill seekers, there's even skydiving and zip-lining!
At night, bachelorettes will have no shortage of options in St. Maarten. Not only is St. Maarten home to a long list of casinos, but the island is also home to some of the best dining in the Caribbean as well as bars, lounges, nightclubs, and everything in between. With many establishments in St. Maarten open until 4 AM and later, there are plenty of places to keep the party going until the wee hours.
If bachelorettes are looking to explore even more, St. Maarten offers a great home base hub. It is extremely easy to take day trips from St. Maarten to neighboring islands like Anguilla, Saba, St. Barts, and more on boat ferries as well as ultra short (<30 min.) plane rides for those who get sea sick.
As you can tell, the idyllic Caribbean island of Sint Maarten makes for an ideal international destination for bachelorette parties. Be sure to contact St. Maarten Sotheby's International Realty today to book your dream bachelorette party.
