Offering a fascinating combination of French charm and laidback Caribbean vibes, you’ll make memories to last a lifetime in this exotic locale.

Learn about the island’s history on a tour of popular landmarks in the capital city of Marigot, which was founded in the 18th century under King Louis XVI’s reign. Take in panoramic views from Fort St. Louis, a picturesque fortress that was built in the late 1700s and which offers breathtaking vistas overlooking Marigot Bay.

What to buy: Guavaberries, which grow wild on the island of St. Maarten, are aged with fine rum and cane sugar to make a fruity, spicy and woody liqueur of the same name. Aside from a bottle of guavaberry to make your own cocktails at home, you can also pick up a guavaberry-flavoured jam or cake as a memorable and yummy souvenir.
