Calling all sun-chasing soulmates and honeymooners-in-love! If your idea of romance includes sipping cocktails in a private plunge pool, watching the sun melt into the Caribbean Sea, and a touch of “ooh la la,” then St. Maarten is ready to woo you. The first time I visited St Maarten, I was on a Norwegian cruise with my family. Upon arriving at Orient Beach, I knew I had found a little slice of heaven. Of course, we had to go back and stay in a hotel to explore this charming Dutch and French island in depth. We have returned several times, and St Maarten never fails to impress. Here are the steamiest resorts on the island for a honeymoon that’s all passion, no passport drama.
🔥 Sonesta Ocean Point Resort – Adults‑Only Bliss
The Sonesta Ocean Point is peak honeymoon heat. This 5-star, adults-only, all-inclusive resort has oceanfront suites with butler service, cliffside infinity pools, and access to sister property Sonesta Maho for nightlife perks. You’re just a barefoot stroll from Maho Beach’s plane-spotting thrills but tucked away enough to feel like you’re in your romantic bubble. Don’t miss the Azul Restaurant on a cliff’s edge overlooking stunning Maho Beach.
Why it’s sexy: Zero kids. All vibes. Maximum privacy with a whole lot of pampering.
✨ JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort – The New “It Girl” of Luxury
Brand new and breathtaking, the JW Marriott brings refined romance to Simpson Bay. We’re talking expansive oceanfront suites, elevated dining, and a spa that knows how to knead every last wedding knot out of your shoulders. Expect sleek lines, soft linens, and open spaces for slow mornings and steamy sunsets.
Why it’s sexy: Fresh, modern, and dripping with quiet elegance—like slipping into a silk robe made of an ocean breeze.
🌊 La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel – French Riviera Meets Caribbean Dream
Tucked on a private stretch of Baie Longue, La Samanna is where time slows and love intensifies. Picture European-style villas with open-air terraces, private plunge pools, and access to one of the prettiest beaches on the island. Belmond always brings its A‑game: spa days, Champagne toasts, and gourmet dining under the stars. In my opinion, La Samanna is hands down the best hotel on the island.
Why it’s sexy: Understated, intimate, and French AF, you’ll feel like you’re starring in a honeymoon rom-com.
💙 Divi Little Bay Beach Resort – Laid‑Back Love with a View
Nestled on a peninsula between two turquoise bays, Divi Little Bay’s casual elegance meets coastal eye candy. Beachfront rooms, three infinity pools, couples’ massages, and the most Instagrammable sunset views? Check, check, and check. Bonus: It’s steps from the island’s historic Fort Amsterdam if you want a cute, low-key hike between kisses. Great option for couples on a tight budget!
Why it’s sexy: Cozy, colorful, and romantic without trying too hard.
🌿 Esmeralda Resort – Boutique, Bougainvillea‑Wrapped Bliss
On the lush French side, Esmeralda Resort is intimate and effortlessly chic. With private plunge pools in nearly every villa, soft sand underfoot, and the quiet lull of Orient Bay nearby, this spot is tailor-made for low-key lovers who want just the two of us energy.
Why it’s sexy: A garden paradise with just enough sparkle—think honeysuckles and whispered secrets.
🍷 Coral Beach Club Villas – Secluded Sophistication
In laid-back Oyster Pond, Coral Beach Club serves up ocean-view villas with full kitchens, infinity-edge pools, and an atmosphere that whispers, “Why don’t you stay in tonight?” It’s a peaceful, gated retreat with easy access to island adventures when you’re ready to come up for air.
Why it’s sexy: Think Bond movie hideout meets barefoot romance. Privacy, but make it glam.
