The Sonesta Maho.

Maho Beach, St Maarten
Maho Beach has an energy that’s entirely its own — famous for its planes overhead, yes, but just as unforgettable for the turquoise water and golden light. Couples spend their mornings on the sand and their evenings watching the last flights glide past as the sun dips low. There’s a playful pulse here that makes a honeymoon feel electric. Just beyond the beach, adults-only Sonesta Ocean Point Resort and Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa bring it all together with lively bars, stunning views and rooms perched just above the sea. The Morgan Resort is right near by, with easy access to Maho and a great stretch of Simpson, too.
