St. Maarten is a small island, but it has two parts – the French side and the Dutch. They’re different but the same. St. Maarten is also known for being an aviation geek’s dream; you can get up close to watch planes take off and land. In addition, if you want to visit Anguilla, it is a short ferry ride away.
