The Best All-Inclusive Resorts in St Maarten

the two all-inclusive resorts comprise the Sonesta St Maarten.

St Maarten has everything: the beaches, the restaurants, the nightlife, the shopping, the gaming. It’s one of the most diverse, cosmopolitan, fun-filled places in all of the Caribbean. 

And this is the island’s epicenter: Maho Beach, the heartbeat of St Maarten, where the planes make their spectacular landings, the sand sparkles an impossible white and the energy never stops. 

It’s fitting, then, that Maho is also home to St Maarten’s two best resorts, both of which happen to be of the all-inclusive variety. 

The Sonesta is set in the epicenter of St Maarten.

This is the Sonesta St Maarten, an all-inclusive destination that comprises two resorts: the signature Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino and Spa and the adults-only Sonesta Ocean Point Resort.

First there’s the Ocean Point, set on one of the most stunning perches in the Caribbean, high above Maho Beach, with a sleek, crisp design, outstanding food and a serene (but energetic) ambience. It’s also home to a clutch of swim-up suites.

It’s as good as an adults-only experience gets in the Caribbean, with 130 suites in a “resort within a resort” concept that means Molton Brown amenities, an ultra-chic beach-style rooftop pool and personalized concierge and butler service for the top-level suites. 

The all-inclusive offering even includes a stocked, daily-refreshed mini bar, along with special events, 24-hour room service and a high-tech fitness center. 

Then there’s the 420-room Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, the family-friendly destination resort, the one with the Beach House Kids Club and Aqua Park, a tech-filled Teen Zone, a wonderful spa and a signature swim-up bar. That’s along with a rich menu of daily entertainment with everything from dance classes to poolside bingo to bocce ball and karaoke.

All-inclusive resorts are the hottest thing in Caribbean travel right now, with more and more brands entering the all-inclusive space as more and more travelers seek out resorts where they never have to take out their wallet. 

But Sonesta has been doing this in St Maarten for decades, honing the art of the Caribbean all-inclusive. 

An even on an island with so much to do, with so much calling you beyond your resort, the Sonesta strikes the perfect balance: you can stay all day at the resort, or you can venture out for unique experiences or haute cuisine dinners.

Either way, you’ll never forget you’re in St Maarten. 

It’s an island that has everything — just like the Sonesta.
