DAY 4

Philipsburg, ST MAARTEN

AN enchanting mix of Dutch and French heritage makes for a colourful character on this tiny island, brimming with beautiful beaches and quaint villages. Philipsburg is the Dutch capital, while Marigot, on the ‘French Riviera’, brims with patisseries, bistros and designer boutiques. Discover the sights on a historic Trolley Train, bicycle tour or coach trip. A leisurely coastal hike meanders through nature trails on the east coast, while you’ll have the chance to snorkel on a power-boat trip or catamaran cruise, or perhaps discover colourful marine life on a scuba experience taking in corals, wrecks and myriad fish on reefs a few feet below the surface.
