In a rare balance of
chic European style meets island leisure, the Leeward
Islands of St.Martin/St.Maarten, St.Barth's and Antigua
offer a unique flair to their visitors. Fine shopping
and dining are a trademark of the French St.Barth's,
whose beaches range from secluded to hopping - a place
to see and be seen. St.Martin/St.Maarten each bears
the distinctions of their respective heritages - French
and Dutch, though they share the same landmass (and
airport). Antigua's red ensign origin is but one reminder
of its former Britsh colonial rule, and plays host to
the prestigious regatta known as Antigua sailing week.
