Why Go

Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa gives you the best of both worlds: a full-service resort with spacious suites and a working marina where boats head out daily for island adventures. The location on Billy Folly Road puts you between the lagoon and Simpson Bay Beach, with restaurants, bars, and the Maho entertainment strip all within easy reach. If you want a home base that feels like a proper vacation compound rather than just a hotel room, this is it.

The Experience

The resort sprawls across a prime piece of Simpson Bay real estate with one-to-three-bedroom suites that include full kitchens — a major advantage for longer stays or families. The marina side buzzes with yachts and charter boats, while the beach side offers calm Simpson Bay water and sand. Multiple pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, a fitness center, and a full-service spa cover the activity basics. On-site restaurants and bars mean you can eat every meal without leaving the property, but the Simpson Bay location means you have dozens of options within a short walk or drive.

What to Try

Use the marina to book a day sail or snorkel trip — Aqua Mania Adventures operates from here and offers excellent catamaran excursions. The pool complex is large enough that you'll always find a quiet spot. Take advantage of the full kitchen in your suite for some meals to save money. Walk to Kim Sha Beach and the string of beach bars for variety.

Insider Tip

The lagoon-view suites are more affordable than ocean-view and surprisingly pleasant — the sunset over the lagoon is actually better than the ocean side in many opinions. The resort hosts various activities and entertainment throughout the week; check the front desk schedule rather than planning your own agenda.
