Transfer from Sint Maarten Airport to Maho Beach

The transfer takes you east from the airport terminal via Welfare Road (also called Airport Road), passing the Simpson Bay restaurant strip and St. Maarten Yacht Club marina before turning onto Beacon Hill Road toward the beach. The landscape is compact and built-up, with waterfront views across Simpson Bay; you'll pass the distinctive Simpson Bay draw bridge, which occasionally opens for yacht traffic and can add a few minutes to your journey during peak marine activity.

Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal holding a name sign, then drives you directly to Maho Beach. The 3-minute drive is extremely quick, so traffic is rarely a significant factor; however, morning arrivals (7–10 a.m.) and early afternoon (1–3 p.m.) can see minor congestion near Simpson Bay. Drop-off at Maho Beach itself has no roadside parking, so your driver will guide you to the nearest paid parking—Morgan Resort car park on the east side or Maho village garage—both within walking distance of the sand.

Taxis from the airport to Maho cost $20–$25 USD and accept cash only; public minibuses (bush taxis) run frequently but operate on informal schedules and may take 20–30 minutes with multiple stops. A private transfer guarantees a direct route, a fixed price that includes all road charges, real-time flight monitoring, and a 60-minute free wait if your flight is delayed—advantages that matter on a journey this short, where every minute of hassle-free service counts.
