Sint Maarten, a Caribbean island divided between the Dutch side (Sint Maarten) and the French side (Saint-Martin), offers a unique blend of cultures, stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and duty-free shopping. The island is generally accessible, with many resorts and attractions catering to individuals with mobility challenges, though some natural areas may present difficulties. Both solo and guided visits are popular; solo travelers can easily explore the island by renting a car or using public transportation, while guided tours offer deeper insights into the island's history and ecology. Peak season is from December to April, when the weather is dry and sunny, but prices are higher. The hurricane season runs from June to November, which may bring travel disruptions. A typical visit lasts from a few days to a week or more, with costs varying widely depending on accommodation and activities, but expect to spend around $150-$500 per day. Key attractions include Maho Beach (famous for planes landing), Orient Bay, and Philipsburg.
