About St. Maarten / St. Martin

St. Maarten is the smallest inhabited island in the world shared by two nations, with no border checkpoints between the Dutch south and the French north. It's known worldwide for Maho Beach's low-flying jets, over 30 beaches, a thriving yachting and superyacht scene around Simpson Bay Lagoon, duty-free shopping in Philipsburg, and a dining scene often called the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean — from beach shacks to French fine dining in Grand Case. Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) connects the island directly to the US, Europe and the wider Caribbean.

About Guana Bay

Guana Bay sits in Upper Prince's Quarter on St. Maarten's southeastern coast, close to Guana Bay Beach — a favorite among surfers and sunset watchers — and Dawn Beach, with the French border and Oyster Pond's marina nearby. It's an elevated, breeze-cooled residential pocket favored for its privacy and panoramic ocean views, while staying a short drive from Philipsburg, the island's restaurants, and SXM airport.

Frequently asked questions

What buyers usually ask about Villa Guana Bay and St. Maarten.

Are there property taxes when buying real estate in St. Maarten? +

There is no recurring annual property tax comparable to the US or much of Europe. Rates and exemptions can change, so we recommend confirming the current tax with a local notary before making an offer.

Can foreign buyers purchase property in St. Maarten? +

Yes. St. Maarten places no general restriction on foreign ownership of real estate — non-residents can buy, hold and sell property in their own name, typically through a local civil-law notary who handles the title transfer and registration.

How far is Villa Guana Bay from Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM)? +

Are hurricanes a concern for property in St. Maarten? +

St. Maarten sits within the Atlantic hurricane belt, with the season running June to November. Villa Guana Bay was built with reinforced concrete construction, storm shutters and a solar/battery backup system to support resilience during the season — as with any Caribbean property, insurance and preparedness should be part of ownership planning.
