SUNSET BEACH BAR

The colors, the wood, the thick-crust pizzas, the burgers, the happy hours... And above all, the unobstructed view of the magnificent Maho beach and the thundering waltz of aircraft landings (timetables at the entrance so you don't miss a thing). The place is certainly very touristy, but the service is cheerful and always ready to help you discover the best cocktail of the moment.
GREEN HOUSE

Simple, relaxed and varied! One of the places not to be missed on your visit to Philipsburg.

Not to be missed.
ENIGMA TIME
Read moreWhile escape games - a cross between a treasure hunt and a life-size Cluedo - have flourished all over the world in recent years, there were none on Saint-Martin, until Enigma Time opened in 2022. Since then, the establishment has never been empty. How does it work? You're locked in a room with your team, and you have to solve a series of riddles before the 60-minute time limit expires (or you'll be released, of course). It offers two rooms: Vengeance at the Casino and Bloodqueen Mysteries, themes that make sense in Saint-Martin.

A tempting program for memorable live evenings.
WAI PLAGE
Read moreRebuilt after Irma, slightly relocated on the beach and renamed (its former name was Waikiki), the Waï is a beach bar/club and restaurant.

The menu features tapas, burgers and salads, as well as meat and fish dishes. It's also an opportunity to try the famous bokits, which are gastronomic here. Or sip cocktails and sway your feet in the sand to a concert or DJ set .
