Maarten is a small island in the Caribbean with an area of 37 square miles. It is a perfect destination for those who love beaches, adventure, and cultural experiences. The island is divided into two territories: the French side and the Dutch side. The Dutch side is known for its lively nightlife and casinos, while the French side is more laid back and has a strong culinary scene. Some popular activities include zip-lining, snorkeling, and visiting the famous Maho Beach where planes fly just a few feet above sunbathers.
