Two airlines make the 10 minute flight from St. Maarten to St. Barth (SBH). Winair and St. Barth Commuter. You should leave at least 90 minutes in each direction between flights in St. Maarten if you are using carry-on luggage; more if you plan to check luggage for your trip to St. Barth. You can bypass immigration in St. Maarten if you travel with carry-on luggage.
St Barth Commuter’s site has a great map that illustrates the best path for navigating the airport in St. Maarten. Please note the airport operating on one floor and airport employees will give you instructions when you land.
Next, select your accommodation.
If you wish to stay in a hotel look at the web site\s of our hotel partners and just let us know your preference. If you prefer to stay in a villa, make your selection. We will make the hotel or villa reservation for you. Fill out registration and auto forms, print and mail them to us with your registration fee. The hotel or villa agency will confirm your accommodations and request a deposit.
To expedite the payment process, please email your registration form to Eva at info@saintbarthdental.com and she will make your reservations and send you the banking info for wire transfers. Or, send the Registration to our New Jersey address with the $1500 Registration Fee if you prefer not to wire funds, but it could take weeks to deposit your check. We will confirm your attendance.
The SBDA earns commissions from each hotel, villa and car reservation we make and these fees help to fund the cost of organizing the conference and keeping the registration fees low. If you reserve accommodations or a car rental directly; use a villa agency other than one of the five we recommend; or reserve through a travel agent you will be charged a higher event registration fee ($2100).
If you reserve a villa or hotel through one of our partner agencies, please report which agency you used on the registration form and we will be in contact with them.
In December, you will be sent a Welcome letter with a schedule and directions to events. First time attendees will be provided detailed information and directions to hotels. We also provide information about the best restaurants and beaches to enhance your free time on our island.
Update!!!
Certain facilities in France, including restaurants, require a Covid Certificate. On Saint Barth, Americans report they are able to use their CDC card. If you would like to apply for the EU Covid Certificate complete and submit the form using this link.
