Step from arrivals to aperitif in five minutes; the resort sits on Sint Maarten’s southwest corner beside Princess Juliana International Airport, yet feels still. You watch yachts skim Simpson Bay, planes brush the water, and sunsets drop behind Saba. A stroll leads you into vibrant Maho Village for boutiques and Casino Royale. Philipsburg is a twenty-minute drive away, while the French capital, Marigot, sits across the lagoon, offering markets, art, and French patisseries nearby.
Suites feel like apartments, each with open-plan living, a rainfall shower and a terrace that stretches to the sky. Junior Suites wrap you in pale oak and linen, while Swim-Out versions add a river-like lane straight from the day bed. For more drama, book a Rooftop or Sunset Butler Suite and laze in a plunge pool above the sea. Royal Penthouses crown the resort with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a wrap-around veranda bar for sunset toasts.
Beyond the resort, Sint Maarten rewards the curious. Walk ten minutes to Maho Beach and feel the roar of a landing jet. Hire a private car and sip rosé in Grand Case bistros, then browse silk kaftans in Marigot market. Sip a cold Carib while steel drums bounce through Simpson Bay’s happy-hour bars—Hike Pic Paradis for green views across Anguilla. Return at dusk, ready for another star-lit dinner back at the resort soon after.
Expect sleek spaces crafted for ease. Four pools set the tone: the cliff-edge Infinity Pool, a beach at The Edge Pool, the Seascape Pool with swim-up bar, and the neighbouring Oasis Pool. Families pass younger ones to the bright Beach House Kids Club next door. Serenity Spa soothes with cabanas and a Zen Garden. The fitness studio is located in Maho Bay. Top suites include butler service, while the concierge and twenty-four-hour room service keep days smooth.
Cuisine here sings with island zest and Euro flair. Azul sits on a cliff ledge; you savour long breakfasts and slow Mediterranean dinners while trade winds sweep through. Portofino plates hand-rolled pasta with herbs from the garden, while Bluefin brings a light poké spin at lunch. Mixologists shake guavaberry rum at the Sunset Lounge and craft cold-brew martinis at the lobby bar. Room service runs all night, keeping cravings at bay until the island light returns.
Your occasion gains a golden glow in this sparkling cliff-top setting. Say vows under a driftwood arch on the terrace, then move to the Royal Pavilion for champagne and candlelight with Maho Bay in full view. Grand receptions unfold in the Maho Room, which seats six hundred with ease yet still feels warm. The weddings team sets fireworks or a steel-pan trio at your wish, and a butler brings late-night sliders to your suite door.
