In 1648, the French and Dutch are said to have divided Saint Martin/Sint Maarten by walking in opposite directions from a central point. Explore Marigot, with colonial houses, markets, Creole charm, and codfish fritters; climb Fort Louis for bay views and a glimpse of Anguilla. In Grand Case, try traditional lolo restaurants. On the Dutch side, casinos, duty-free shops, and Mullet Bay's white sands and turquoise waves add a livelier contrast.

Two lush volcanic islands lie across a narrow strait: Saint Kitts and Nevis. On Saint Kitts, palm-lined trails lead to Mt. Liamuiga views, a historic railway recalls the sugar era, and Basseterre blends laid-back life with Creole markets. Christophe Harbour adds modern luxury: hills, wild bays, a marina for superyachts, and sunset cocktails at Salt Plage. Across The Narrows, Nevis offers secluded beaches and chic former plantations-turned-hotels and restaurants.

Six nautical miles north of Anguilla, an enchantingly wild islet, Prickly Pear Cay, emerges like a mirage, adrift in turquoise waters where time dissolves into salt and sunlight. This protected sanctuary embodies true escape, accessible only to those seeking paradise. Freedom is at your feet, walking ribbons of snow-white sand and swimming crystalline waters. Overhead, frigates and terns wheel across endless skies while beneath, kaleidoscopic reefs teem with life, making this stop a dreamscape for snorkelers. One cay shaped by wind, the other by serenity, this marine reserve remains gloriously raw yet refined-where a simply grilled lobster with chilled cocktails becomes pure poetry.
