Sint Maarten → Simpson Bay: key facts

Getting from Sint Maarten Airport (SXM) to Simpson Bay takes about 10 min by car on an empty road (10–20 min in heavy traffic) over 2 km. Our private transfer costs €90 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €130 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: 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. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Simpson Bay is the area right next to the airport, about 5 km east along Airport Road. The road runs between the long beach of Simpson Bay on the south side and Simpson Bay Lagoon on the north, passing the drawbridge at the lagoon entrance, which opens at set times to let yachts in and out. There are no tolls. Traffic drives on the right, and short queues form when the bridge is open.

Simpson Bay is the island's main hotel and nightlife strip on the Dutch side. Airport Road is lined with restaurants, casinos and shops, while timeshare resorts and beach hotels face the long sandy beach of Simpson Bay. The lagoon side has several marinas used by sailing and motor yachts. Maho and its beach are a few minutes west, and Cole Bay with its supermarkets and chandleries lies to the east.

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.
