3 ST. MARTIN Part of the Leeward islands of the Caribbean, this island is technically two separate countries — the French side of Saint-Martin and the southern Dutch side of Sint Maarten. Foodies take heed, as this unique cultural fusion is responsible for some of the best cuisine in the Caribbean. And if you’re in search of a bit of retail therapy, the upscale couture boutiques and duty-free shops won’t disappoint either. If you’re seeking a spa treatment as luxurious as its surroundings, don’t miss the top-rated Belmond La Samanna, where seven lavish treatment rooms — each with its own private Zen garden and outdoor shower — open out onto lush tropical gardens of verdant Baie Longue. Unwind with an indulgent Roucou pre-tanning treatment before enjoying the sun-drenched beach, feel your tension slip away with a tropical Lomi Lomi massage.
