Sint Eustatius

Ranking first in our list of the most beautiful islands in the Netherlands is Sint Eustatius. Tourists should visit Sint Eustatius, commonly known as Statia or Statius, for a pleasant holiday on an uncrowded island. Unlike many of the Caribbean's larger islands, Sint Eustatius moves slowly and welcomes guests who want to have a genuine experience devoid of tourist traps. The island has only one town, Oranjestad, which is a wonderful spot to shop, eat, and unwind despite its lack of modernisation.

Travelers on Sint Eustatius may spend their days hiking, exploring, and diving at their leisure. The Statia Carnival, which incorporates music, dance, and the best of local food, is held in July for those searching for a bit extra excitement.

The island is located 33 miles southwest of St. Maarten's shore, about a 20-minute plane journey away. There are currently no direct flights from the United States to Statia. Taking a short journey on the island hopper is the most convenient method to get in St. Maarten.
