St. Maarten’s iconic all-inclusive resort duo introduces technology upgrades, new features, and an exclusive package for incentive groups and corporate planners
MAHO, St. Maarten – With a bold refresh of its 16,000-square-foot convention center and additional 8,000-square-feet of outdoor meeting space, and significant technology enhancements, Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten [sonestastmaarten.com] is redefining group travel in the Caribbean. Featuring new upgrades to its flexible meeting space and a fresh design concept for the dedicated breakout rooms, the dual-resort destination has released a Meet Me in Paradise promotion, available for bookings through October 31, 2025, to celebrate its enhancements.
The indoor convention space has been reimagined to offer a more open, uninterrupted layout. Modern design elements, featuring a crisp white tone that creates the perfect backdrop for any event, extend throughout the pre-function and overall setting, creating an inviting atmosphere. Offering a more intimate space for breakout sessions and smaller groups, the Saba, Bonaire, and Statia rooms have been fully renovated and are now equipped with 75” mounted smart TVs that wirelessly connect to phones, tablets, and laptops for seamless content sharing. In addition to the new design and technology, these dedicated breakout rooms have been outfitted with acoustics to help block out exterior sounds, offering an exciting and professional setting where companies and groups can gather on a smaller scale.
The next phase of the upgrades will introduce a 33 x 10-foot ultra-high-definition screen set to debut later this fall, making the Convention Center home to the largest indoor presentation display in the Caribbean.
“Sonesta Resorts St Maarten is committed to delivering exceptional group experiences that bring dynamic island energy into the multi-functional meetings and events spaces,” said Jamie Lee, vice president of resort operations at Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten. “We recognize the importance of providing innovative features and fresh design as we raise the bar for group stays.”
Now available for new bookings, the Meet Me in Paradise group offer provides enhanced value based on the number of room nights booked. The full list of the promotion inclusions can be found here [sonestastmaarten.com], highlights include:
- Perks such as hospitality desks, complimentary rooms, Serenity Spa treatments, and more.
- Double the points as part of the Sonesta Travel Pass Planner Perks, up to 100,000 per qualifying event.
With a 24% increase in group bookings in early 2025, Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten continues to set the standard for meetings and incentives in the region. From high-profile events like the FCCA 30th Annual Cruise Conference and SMART Tradeshow to intimate weddings and large-scale incentive programs, the dedicated meetings team delivers tailored indoor and outdoor experiences.
