Make the Most of Your Simpson Bay Stay

A nautical hub with Caribbean energy

Simpson Bay anchors the Dutch side of St. Maarten as the island's yachting and entertainment capital, where the Caribbean's largest inland lagoon hosts mega-yachts worth millions. The famous drawbridge opens multiple times daily as vessels navigate into protected waters. This former fishing village has transformed into a sophisticated marina district where waterfront dining and upscale nightlife define the experience, all within minutes of Princess Juliana International Airport.

Dining and nightlife along the Strip

Rhine Road, known locally as the Strip, concentrates over 80 restaurants and bars into a walkable corridor that comes alive after sunset. Options span French fine dining to authentic Caribbean BBQ, with everything from tropical garden settings to beachside lobster houses. The area serves business travelers well, offering proximity to airport connections and marina-side venues ideal for client dinners. Nearby Pelican Key provides resort accommodations on a quieter peninsula, while Kim Sha Beach delivers daytime water activities and evening entertainment.

Gateway to island exploration

Simpson Bay makes an efficient base for exploring both sides of the island and beyond. Day trips to Anguilla depart from the nearby ferry terminal, while St. Barts lies just 25 minutes away by catamaran. The compact geography means French-side beaches or Philipsburg's duty-free shopping are within a short drive, though hiring a private driver helps navigate bridge schedules and peak traffic.
