The structures hover 15 feet above ground. Each treehouse accommodates up to four guests and boasts large windows, a king-sized bedroom on the main level, a loft with queen-sized murphy bed, living room with bar, covered balcony and deck with a fire pit. The décor features custom furnishings and eclectic “found pieces” in soothing earth tones. Well-appointed amenities include heated bathroom floors, Nespresso coffee machines, Malin & Goetz bath products, automated master bedroom window shades and fully automated Lutron myRoom controlled lighting.

 

The new accommodations join the property’s 11 existing suites and cottages.

Move to the Music and Rhythm of Destinations Around the World

The true rhythm of a country is felt away from the main tourist traps. Galleries, museums and historic sites provide an overview, but you need to go elsewhere to experience the living, beating heart of a place. For instance, immerse yourself in the humid turmoil of a Durban underground club, or get to grips with the formal group dances of the Scottish Highlands, or become part of the foot-stomping camaraderie of a Galway pub, or ride the waves of neon-lit energy in a Seoul basement nightclub.

Sonesta Sint Maarten’s Newest Deal is Perfect Excuse for Fall Getaway

Autumn at home might be filled with changing leaves and pumpkin spice, but, in the Caribbean, it means sunshine and sandy beaches. In other words, it’s a great place to sneak off for a fall getaway to recharge and refresh before the holidays are upon us, and the current deal offered at Sonesta Sint Maarten resorts make it an affordable option for families and couples.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
