Located in the northeastern part of the Caribbean Sea, French St. Martin is part of the French Overseas Collective and shares an island with Dutch St. Martin. It is famous for its turquoise sea and blue sky, fine white sandy beaches and bustling coastal resorts, especially the famous Maho Beach, which has become a global Netflix hit because of the unique view of airplanes skimming over the beach at low altitude.
The island is a blend of French and Caribbean flavors, with the capital city of Marigot dotted with colorful cottages, boutiques and French restaurants. On the east coast, Orient Bay, with its long coral reef, is a popular spot for snorkeling and sailing. The island's more than 30 beaches offer a variety of options, from quiet secluded coves to lively water sports centers.
French St. Martin attracts a large number of tourists every year, while at the same time being ecologically conscious, with several marine nature reserves. The island's excellent infrastructure, international airport with direct flights to Europe and the United States, duty-free shopping and high-end resorts have earned it the nickname "St. Tropez of the Caribbean". Whether you're looking for a romantic honeymoon or an adventurous getaway, the island offers a wide variety of experiences.

Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
