Soak Up Luxury for a Day: 2 Stunning St. Maarten Resorts Offering Day Passes

Whether you’re arriving on a cruise or just want a relaxing day without checking in overnight, St. Maarten has you covered with two incredible resorts offering day passes, one on the Dutch side, and one of the French side. From chic beachfront vibes to classic Caribbean elegance, The Morgan and La Samanna deliver luxury, delicious food, and poolside bliss—all in one unforgettable day. Here's some details on each resort & perks on taking advantage of a day pass.

The Morgan Resort – Modern, Vibrant, and Perfect for a Pool Day

Located just minutes from the airport in Simpson Bay, The Morgan Resort is the ideal spot if you’re looking for a stylish, contemporary vibe. Their day pass gives you access to the stunning saltwater infinity pool overlooking the ocean, complete with private cabanas, jacuzzi, lounge chairs, towel service, poolside service with food and drinks available for purchase, access to the fitness center, WiFi, and valet for $60.

What I love about The Morgan is how lively and comfortable it is. You can sip cocktails, grab lunch at Salt Restaurant, and even catch planes taking off from nearby Maho Beach—all while stretched out on a comfy lounger with views for days. It’s a top pick for travelers who want a touch of glam, a little fun, and a whole lot of sunshine.

Perfect for: Cruise passengers, couples, solo travelers, and groups looking for a fun and stylish beach club atmosphere.

La Samanna – Timeless Elegance on a Secluded Beach

If you’re craving serenity and sophistication, La Samanna is your dream escape. A Belmond property tucked away on Baie Longue Beach on the French side, this resort oozes European-Caribbean elegance. They have several day package options for those interested in a day pass:
