St. Maarten and Saint Martin.
Dutch St. Maarten & French Saint Martin - Luxury Villas in the Caribbean St. Maarten, home to 140 nationalities, is the smallest island in the world shared by two nations. This sunny Caribbean treasure offers an irresistible blend of French, Dutch and Caribbean culture, beaches and water sports, shopping, fine dining and nightlife.
Geography
The island measures 37 square miles, of which 16 is Dutch territory and 21 square miles belongs to French S.t Martin. Despite its small size, St. Maarten/St. Martin has a varied landscape. To the south, St. Maarten is predominantly low-lying and dotted with salt pans and lagoons. Toward the center and north of the island are hills and valleys and the terrain is more rugged. The highest point on the island is Pic Paradis, with an altitude of 1,400 feet.
