About Philipsburg
Philipsburg is the capital of Sint Maarten's Dutch half—a duty-free port where Dutch heritage meets Caribbean energy. The Great Salt Pond sits at the edge of town, while the beachfront promenade hosts countless restaurants and bars. The island shares French and Dutch colonial histories, creating a unique cultural blend. Planes landing at Princess Juliana Airport pass just feet above Maho Beach.
