Divi Little Bay is the place
for families and couples alike
Divi Little Bay prides itself on welcoming everyone and, in so doing, stands out from other hotels. Nestled on a picturesque peninsula between Little Bay and Great Bay, Divi Little Bay Beach Resort offers a rare blend of natural beauty, Caribbean hospitality and diverse accommodations that cater to every kind of traveler. Whether you’re planning a sun-soaked family vacation, a romantic couples’ getaway, or a solo retreat to reconnect with yourself and nature, Divi Little Bay welcomes you with open arms and an experience tailored to your needs.
“At Divi Little Bay Beach Resort, we take great pride in being a family-friendly destination,” says Anne-Marie Brooks, the hotel’s general manager explains, before adding: “With a dedicated children’s activity center, various family-oriented amenities and adult-friendly options, we offer an environment where families can bond and enjoy the freedom to do their own thing around the resort.” This family-first philosophy sets Divi apart from many other properties on Sint Maarten, which often cater to adults-only or high-end luxury markets. The resort strikes a careful balance, creating a space that is as entertaining and welcoming for children as it is relaxing and indulgent for adults. With three spacious swimming pools, a supervised kids’ activity center and reduced child and teen pricing on all-inclusive stays, Divi is clearly designed with multigenerational travelers in mind.
In 2021, Divi expanded its offerings with the launch of the Oceans at Divi Little Bay, a premium concept that caters to travelers seeking a more upscale experience while still enjoying the resort’s signature charm and accessibility. “The Oceans area provides an elevated, luxurious experience with premium amenities and VIP facilities,” Brooks informs. “Currently, our guest portfolio is roughly 20 percent families with children, 35 percent couples enjoying a romantic retreat and 45 percent guests staying in the Oceans area for an upscale, all-inclusive getaway.” The suites offer sweeping ocean views, private check-in, upscale room features and access to exclusive amenities — a sanctuary for those wanting the finer things while still being part of a lively and diverse resort community.
For island destinations, environmental stewardship is not just a choice, it’s a necessity. At Divi Little Bay, sustainability is integrated into operations in thoughtful, tangible ways. “The construction of the Oceans area with insulated concrete forms reflects our commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability,” says Brooks. “Across the resort, we’ve implemented water-saving systems, energy-efficient lighting and a recycling program.” By sourcing locally and reducing emissions wherever possible, the resort strives to protect Sint Maarten’s pristine environment for future generations of travelers.
Immersive experiences for the inquisitive
Today’s tourists are increasingly looking for authentic experiences that connect them with local history and culture. Divi Little Bay Beach Resort delivers exactly that with both on-site and nearby experiences that invite guests to discover the real Sint Maarten. “From guided tours of historic Fort Amsterdam, which is located right on our property, to excursions that explore the island’s Dutch and French heritage, we help guests connect with the true essence of Sint Maarten,” highlights Brooks. Beyond Fort Amsterdam — one of the oldest colonial forts in the Caribbean — guests can venture to the colorful Marigot Market, explore the quaint streets of Philipsburg, or book culinary tours and art walks that showcase the island’s multicultural richness. Divi’s concierge team curates these experiences to ensure travelers leave not only with stunning photos but with meaningful memories and deeper understanding.
As remote work becomes more common, Divi Little Bay is seeing growing interest from digital nomads and long-term vacationers. Though the resort does not yet offer a dedicated remote work package, it’s actively exploring the opportunity and already provides many of the essential ingredients. “Sint Maarten is an ideal location for remote work, offering stunning views, a reliable infrastructure and a vibrant culture that blends productivity with relaxation,” Brooks notes. With free high-speed Wi-Fi, scenic workspaces and access to pools and beaches steps away from your room, guests can balance their workload with leisure seamlessly.
Divi has also evolved its marketing to keep pace with a hyper-connected generation of travelers who rely heavily on online reviews and influencer content. “We’ve embraced the digital age by leveraging social media platforms and collaborating with influencers and travel bloggers to showcase the beauty of our resort. By highlighting guest experiences through authentic, user-generated content, we engage with the modern traveler in meaningful ways,” summarizes Brooks, touching upon a theme that all hotels must now embrace. Whether it’s a drone shot of turquoise waters or a family’s beachfront dinner on Instagram, these digital impressions help convey the warmth and vibrancy of the Divi experience far beyond the island’s shores in ways that connect with modern travelers who value authenticity much more than previous generations.
Divi Little Bay is meeting the changing desires of global travelers, from a deeper appreciation for experiential and sustainable travel to a renewed focus on well-being, nature and cultural immersion. “The future of travel is about connection, whether to people, nature, or culture and we’re excited to play a role in creating those connections,” says Brooks. Reinforcing the point, she adds: “Travelers today value experiences and authenticity more than ever.” In Sint Maarten every beach, hilltop and local smile tells a story and Divi Little Bay Beach Resort brings the comfort of a resort and the soul of a community. Whether it’s quality family time, enjoying a luxurious Oceans escape, or setting up your remote office overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Divi Little Bay is ready to welcome you.
“Sint Maarten offers a truly unique Caribbean experience, with its blend of Dutch and French cultures, stunning beaches and warm hospitality,” Brooks concludes. “We invite you to discover the magic of our island. With our focus on creating unforgettable experiences, we’re confident you’ll leave with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty and spirit of Sint Maarten.”
