About St Maarten
Why visit St Maarten?
St Maarten is an island in the northeastern Caribbean shared by two countries: Sint Maarten in the south, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Saint-Martin in the north, part of France. Resorts sit on both sides, from Maho Bay and Little Bay on the Dutch side to Orient Bay on the French side, and packages from Canada fly into Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM).
Canadian vacation packages to St Maarten combine a return flight and a resort stay. Several travel sites sell the same resorts, so the total for identical dates can differ from one site to the next. TripRadr shows those totals side by side, and you book on the site you prefer.
