Maho · Sint Maarten
Maho, from beach days to bright nights
Watch aircraft sweep over Maho Beach, enjoy the Caribbean Sea, then move on to the restaurants and lights nearby: this is Saint Martin at a livelier pace.
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.

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.

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