Bikini Beach

St-Martin & Sint Maarten


The post-Irma incarnation of this long-running beach bar exudes a relaxed yet elegant vibe. Savor tropical drinks and Caribbean-French bites like snapper baked in banana leaf (mains €16 to €26) on its stone deck hemmed in by young palm trees or kick back on a sun chair below a lime-green umbrella.

You could easily laze the day away here, but if you're keen to get active, it also offers Jet Ski rentals, parasailing and banana boating.
