A bold and vibrant
rebranding for St. Maarten

St. Maarten is a bold and vibrant destination, a blend of nightlife, cuisine and cultures not often found in the Caribbean. Following the dual impacts of hurricane Irma in 2017 and the global pandemic in 2019 St. Maarten needed a new brand to signal its recovery and bring tourism back to pre-2017 levels. The new St. Maarten brand had to mirror the island’s boldness, vibrancy, and diversity. With colors inspired by its cultural heritage and natural beauty, the brand is designed to engage travelers and inspire bookings, while simultaneously instilling pride in the island’s residents.
