A spicy marriage of European and Caribbean cultures, St. Martin boasts lavish elegance and secluded beaches on the cosmopolitan French side and a bustling shopping center and cruise port in Dutch-hued St. Maarten. The island has been under joint French and Dutch control for 350 years. Taxis and jitney vans link both sides, seamlessly crossing the imperceptible border. Zouk, calypso, reggae and jazz provide the soundtrack to romantic dining experiences at some of the Caribbean's best restaurants.
