Luxury March |

Why Visit in March?

March is an excellent time for a luxury holiday in Saint Martin and Sint Maarten. The islands are enjoying their dry season, so you can usually expect warm days, low rainfall and a refreshing breeze from the sea. It is the sort of weather that makes it easy to settle into a relaxed routine of breakfast outdoors, slow afternoons by the pool and sunset drinks overlooking the Caribbean.

Temperatures are typically in the high twenties, while the sea is wonderfully inviting for swimming and watersports. March can be a popular month, particularly around spring break, but that simply adds to the lively atmosphere in the busier resorts. Choose a private villa or an elegant beachfront hotel and you can still enjoy plenty of peace and personal space.

Luxury Places to Stay

Saint Martin and Sint Maarten offer a choice of stylish accommodation to suit a special escape. On the French side, you will find intimate boutique hotels, sophisticated villas and restaurants with a distinctly relaxed feel. The Dutch side is known for larger resorts, convenient facilities and a good selection of hotels close to beaches, nightlife and entertainment.

For the most memorable stay, look for a property with a sea view, private terrace or direct beach access. A villa can be ideal for couples or families wanting their own pool and more flexibility, while a full-service resort makes everything wonderfully easy, from arranging airport transfers to booking a sunset cruise.

Days on the Water

March is perfect for exploring the islands from the water. Charter a yacht for the day and drift between sheltered bays, quiet coves and neighbouring islands. Your crew can often arrange snorkelling stops, a freshly prepared lunch and a route tailored to the weather and your interests.

There are also plenty of ways to enjoy the sea without a private charter. Try paddleboarding in calm water, book a guided snorkelling trip or simply swim from one of the many beautiful beaches. Orient Bay is a favourite for watersports, while Anse Marcel and Grand Case offer a more peaceful setting for a leisurely day beside the sea.

Food, Beaches and Island Life

A luxury holiday here is as much about eating well as it is about relaxing. Grand Case is celebrated for its restaurants and laid-back gourmet dining, with menus ranging from fresh seafood to French-Caribbean specialities. On the Dutch side, you will find everything from elegant waterfront restaurants to lively bars serving international dishes.

Make time to explore beyond your hotel. Spend a morning on Maho Beach watching aircraft arrive, browse local boutiques in Marigot, or visit a quiet lookout for sweeping island views. The two sides have distinct personalities, yet travelling between them is easy, making it simple to enjoy the best of both in one holiday.
