Grand Case Airport, also known as L'Esperance Airport, is the gateway to the northern side of Saint Martin. Controlled by the French government, this part of the island is home to a number of restaurants serving delicious cuisine and beaches bustling with a party vibe all year long. Perhaps more fashionable than the Dutch side, St Martin is home to the gorgeous and ever popular Baie Orientale.
Land at the Princess Juliana Airport, or Sint Maarten Airport as it is also known, and you will be right in the centre of the Dutch side of this wonderful Caribbean island. A territory of the Netherlands Antilles, this half of the island packs a cosmopolitan atmosphere and is home to vibrant casinos, bars, and clubs. Head down to Captain Hodge Pier for a stunning view of the beautiful Great Bay and the beach that stretches alongside.
