An iconic island experience

The sea, the aircraft and the energy of Maho.

Maho Beach is one of Saint Martin’s most recognisable scenes: a small Caribbean beach at the end of Princess Juliana Airport’s runway, where arriving aircraft appear to pass just above the sand.

A short walk away, Maho brings together terraces, restaurants, shops and casinos. Come for a few hours, stay for dinner or choose a nearby villa for easy access to this lively side of the island.

Estelle’s perspective

My simple ways to enjoy Maho.

For the aircraft

Check the day’s arrivals and remain in authorised areas: jet blast can be dangerous close to the airport fencing.

For the evening

Arrive in late afternoon, enjoy the final light and stay for dinner in the neighbourhood.

For your stay

Beacon Hill offers a good balance between Maho’s energy, the sea and the comfort of a private villa.
