There are few places in the world where you can sip cocktails mid-day poolside as a jumbo jet lands right in front of you—but at Sonesta Resorts Sint Maarten, you get a prime view of one of the most unique travel experiences on the planet.
Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa is the island’s largest family-friendly all-inclusive, offering 420 modern rooms and suites, five restaurants, five bars, and countless amenities for all ages. With its oversized Oasis Pool, 1,400-square-foot Aqua Park, and the engaging Beach House Kids Club, it’s a favorite among families and travelers looking for round-the-clock fun. Live entertainment, Casino Royale—the largest gaming emporium on the island—and a full-service Serenity Spa elevate the experience even further.
Just steps away, Sonesta Ocean Point Resort is the serene opposite of the non-stop fun of Maho Beach. An upscale adults-only escape, with 130 chic suites—some with swim-out access or butler service—three exclusive pools, and gourmet dining options, including the clifftop Azul Restaurant, Ocean Point seamlessly blends elegance and island charm. Guests also enjoy access to Maho’s amenities, allowing the best of both worlds: tranquility by day, and excitement by night.
Take in the New
In late 2024, Sonesta Maho Beach debuted its Ultimate Adults Only Club—a sleek enclave on the resort’s top two floors transformed into a sophisticated escape for couples and solo travelers. The best part is the Cloud 9 Rooftop Bar on the ninth floor, offering panoramic views of Maho Beach’s iconic plane landings, sunsets over the sea, and the runway of Princess Juliana International Airport.
Club-level guests enjoy exclusive perks like in-room dining, evening snacks, a private lounge, access to Sonesta Ocean Point’s infinity pool with swim-up bar, adults-only gym, and luxurious touches such as plush robes, premium bath products, and curated minibars.
Maho Beach has earned legendary status among plane spotters, and Sonesta Resorts takes full advantage of this thrill. Thanks to a new webcam perched at Cloud 9, aviation fans worldwide can now witness live takeoffs and landings over the beach. Whether enjoying the view in person with a drink in hand or tuning in from afar, you won’t find entertainment like this anywhere else.
But it’s not just about thrills—Princess Juliana International Airport is one of the most connected hubs in the Caribbean, with over 30 airlines flying direct to 35 destinations. From here, guests can easily fly to nearby islands like St. Barts, Anguilla, and Saba, making it the perfect basecamp for an island-hopping adventure.
Dine, Lounge, and Celebrate
Whether you’re enjoying Northern Italian classics at Portofino, fresh poké bowls at Bluefin, or a candlelit dinner under the stars at Sonesta Ocean Point, both resorts deliver elevated culinary experiences. No matter what you’re craving, there’s something to satisfy every desire.
Sonesta Resorts are also great for group travel, with the largest conference center in the West Indies, offering 24,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space. From destination weddings on the beach to executive retreats and large conventions, their team provides seamless, all-inclusive planning and support.
And if your trip is a celebration of love, Sint Maarten/Saint Martin is a honeymooner’s dream. From beach horseback rides and snorkeling in coral gardens to art walks in Philipsburg and ziplining at Rockland Estate, the island offers a mix of romance and adventure.
Couples looking for an intimate escape will love the blend of laid-back Dutch Caribbean flair and French sophistication. Whether it’s a sunset toast at Sunset Lounge + Bar or a private beachfront dinner, Sonesta Resorts make love stories even more unforgettable.
