Saint Martin — Group Travel | HB Agency Group

Saint Martin,Two countries, one island, zero compromise

The French side for Michelin-quality dining and quiet coves; the Dutch side for casinos, duty-free, and Maho Beach's legendary low-flying planes. Saint Martin plays both roles without apology.

Why Saint Martin

The Caribbean's
Dual-Nation Gem

Saint Martin is unlike any island in the Caribbean — a single landmass divided between France (Saint-Martin) and the Netherlands (Sint Maarten), with no border controls, two currencies, and a hospitality culture that blends French sophistication with Dutch directness. The result is extraordinary: Orient Bay beach with Paris-quality restaurants on one side of the island, and Maho Beach's legendary low-flying jumbo jets and duty-free shopping on the other.

For group travel, Saint Martin's compact scale and dual-culture character is a genuine advantage. A group can have breakfast at a French bakery in Marigot, snorkel at Orient Bay, catch a jumbo jet landing from a beach bar at Maho, and end the evening at a Philipsburg casino — all within twenty miles of island. The Dutch side has serious resort infrastructure for large groups. The French side has boutique luxury. We work with both.
