About this destination
Sint Maarten (French: Saint-Martin, English: Saint Martin) is an island in the Caribbean Sea, named after Saint Martin (Martin of Tours). The island belongs to the Lesser Antilles. It lies 240 kilometres east of Puerto Rico and south of Anguilla. Sint Maarten is divided into a French and a Dutch part, the Collectivité de Saint-Martin and the country of Sint Maarten respectively, which have French and Dutch and English as official languages respectively. The everyday language on the island, however, as on Sint Eustatius, is English, because the population is largely descended from English-speaking slaves. The total surface area of the island is 87 km².
