St. Maarten / St. Martin with its busy cruise port and bustling commercial district, has long been an active center for trade and tourism. Wide beaches along the coast, full of sunbathers and surfers, seem a far cry from the quiet country roads and small towns of the hillsides.
In the evening, the hills of the interior become even more peaceful, while the glittering casinos and pulsing clubs of the coast just begin to come alive. Emphasizing comfort and elegance, the beaches are secluded, and some of the restaurants offer the finest dining experiences in the Caribbean.
The latest French fashions can be found in many of the shops, and the smell of fresh croissants and pastries mixes everywhere with the spicy aromas of West Indian cooking. Small cafés and charming bistros add a decidedly Gaelic and cosmopolitan flair to the place.
The Arawak Indians were the first to inhabit the island of St. Maarten. They left their homeland in the Orinoco basin of South America and migrated along the chain of islands in the Caribbean. They gave it the name "Sualouiga" meaning "Land of Salt" for the salt-pans and the salty water they found here in great abundance.
