Sint Maarten → Orient Bay: key facts

Private transfer, Sint Maarten Airport (SXM) to Orient Bay: the car (1–3 passengers) is €100 and the van (4–8) is €140, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 16 km on the road via N 7; about 20 min off-peak, 20–30 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits for you in the Meet & Greet Hall that you enter after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Shuttle pick-up areas and car rentals are just outside the terminal, reached from the same hall. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Orient Bay is on the north-east coast of the French side, about 19 km from the airport. The drive crosses Simpson Bay Lagoon on the causeway, passes the edge of Marigot and then follows the national road N7 through La Savane and past Grand Case Airport before turning towards the east coast at the Mont Vernon junction. There are no tolls. Traffic drives on the right; the road through Marigot and La Savane is often busy.

Orient Bay, Baie Orientale in French, is a long Atlantic-facing beach with white sand, protected by a reef and small islets such as Caye Verte. Beach restaurants and water sports centres line the sand, and the Orient Bay village behind it has hotels, apartments and shops. Pinel Island is reached by a short boat ride from Cul-de-Sac, a little further north. The beach is popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing when the trade winds blow.

Public transport: The official airport and tourism sites do not list a scheduled airport bus. Public transport on the island consists of privately run minibuses marked with their destination district on the front; they run frequently between Philipsburg, Simpson Bay and Maho but have no formal timetable. Minibuses towards Orient Bay and the north-east leave from Marigot.
