Salut Saint Martin

Thankfully, our friends at Expedia.ca lent a hand in helping us choose the perfect destination. After giving them our wish-list they recommended a destination that offered sun, sand, great restaurants, culture and more: Saint Martin.  

Destination? Check. Hotel? Hmmm that’s a whole other ball game. Once again, Expedia.ca helped us narrow down some selections based on location, amenities and more to find the perfect stay for our trip: the Westin St. Maarten Dawn Beach Resort & Spa. With a full service spa, infinity pool, private beach area and more – it was a total no brainer for us ;)

The Westin is located on the Dutch side and close to popular hot-spots such as Philipsburg, Oyster Pond and much more. We’ve heard fabulous things about nearby restaurants so we’re super excited!

After spending vacations primarily fixated on one beach, we chatted about the option of a car rental so we could hop from one beach to the next and truly get a taste of the beaches on both the French and Dutch side. Knowing we’d now need a flight, hotel and car rental – we opted for a vacation package from Expedia.ca which provided peace of mind knowing we could arrive in our destination with all of our plans already arranged. 

While hitting the beach and relaxing in a comfy chair is definitely on our to-do list, we thought we’d spend one day visiting a nearby island. After doing some research, we found that St. Bart’s and Anguilla are short ferry rides away – great for a fun day trip. It didn’t take long for me to realize that St. Bart’s offered tax-free shopping and being home to names such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes and more – you can guess where we’re headed ;) So with a simple 1-2 click on Expedia, we had a fun day trip planned!

We’ve got a bit of a countdown at this point (42 days) but we’re oh-so pumped to have something to look forward to this winter. I’ve even included my getaway wishlist below of what I hope to be packing come February!

We want to thank the amazing team at Expedia in advance not only for helping us but for sending us on this tropical vacation. We’re oh-so-grateful for the opportunity! For more information on where Expedia.ca is sending us or to book your own tropical getaway this winter, start customizing your own vacation package here!
