A spicy marriage of European and Caribbean cultures, St Martin boasts lavish elegance and secluded beaches on the cosmopolitan French side and a bustling shopping centre and cruise port in Dutch-hued St Maarten. The island has been under joint French and Dutch control for 350 years. Taxis and jitney vans link the two sides, seamlessly crossing the imperceptible border. Zouk, calypso, reggae and jazz provide the soundtrack to romantic dining experiences at some of the Caribbean's best restaurants.

The city's history of isolation and self-sufficiency means that Winnipeggers are unpretentious and sincere (and fun-loving enough to name Homer an honourary citizen). Though the winters are long and cold, there are plenty of indoor activities to both keep you warm and stimulate your imagination.
