Day trips

Isn’t it nice to be in Anguilla and able to visit other islands on a day trip?  This is a luxury that Anguilla offers to tourists because of its small proximity to Saint Martin and Saint Barth.

Saint Martin/ Sint-Maarten, the smallest area in the world shared by two countries – France and Holland, is our closest neighbor.  If you want to leave the serenity of Anguilla for a day or two, you will find Sint-Maarten to be a little paradise of nightlife, shopping, casinos and more…

It’s only a 20-minute boat ride away or a five-minute plane ride, and you can visit two countries all at once.

What not to miss in Sint Maarten:

French Side

• The West Indies Mall (A jewel of architecture and a taste of the French fashion)
• The market in Marigot
• Orient Beach (the beach that never sleeps)
• Fort Louis

Dutch Side

• Front Street, Philipsburg (for the shopaholic)
• The Bliss nightclub
• Plane Landing over Maho Beach

Saint-Barth

Where the celebrities go when they want to be seen (when they don’t they come to Anguilla).

If you want to feel like a jet setter you need to visit Saint-Barth. You can charter a plane if you are a group of at least 4, and it’s worth it. Or you can take the Voyager boat from Saint Martin.

Saint Barth is another paradise of excellent shopping, nice beaches and good food.  And while you are at it, practice your French!

Not to miss in Saint-Barth

• Gustavia, the capital
• Shell Beach
