E-Foil

The e-foil, or electric foil, is an innovative and spectacular activity. Powered by a silent motor, you literally glide above the water on a board equipped with an underwater wing. The sensation is unique: lightness, control, and the feeling of floating above the waves. Accessible to both beginners and experienced riders, the e-foil allows you to discover the sea and its landscapes in a completely new and fascinating way. For underwater exploration, check out our guide to the best dive sites in Sint Maarten, including reefs and wrecks.

With The Hills Residence, all you need to do is put on your swimsuit and take your gear to fully enjoy all these water activities. Every outing on the water becomes a memorable experience, combining adventure, discovery, and pure enjoyment in the heart of the Caribbean.

Surf

Surfing in Saint Martin offers an experience that is both exciting and immersive. Riding the turquoise waves while admiring the coastline from the water provides a unique feeling of freedom and connection with the ocean. The island’s beaches offer waves suitable for all levels: beginners can take their first lessons with local instructors, while experienced surfers will find spots with more technical and challenging waves. Surfing not only allows you to have fun and test your skills, but also to discover Saint Martin’s marine landscapes from a completely different perspective, combining adrenaline and wonder.

Jet-Surfing

Jetsurfing is a dynamic and modern experience that combines the speed of a jet ski with the freedom of surfing. Standing on a motorized board, you glide above the waves, feeling the power and balance with every movement. It’s a perfect activity for thrill-seekers who want to explore the coastline with style and energy, while enjoying spectacular views of the water and the surrounding islands.

Jet-Ski

For those who love adrenaline, jet skiing is a must-do activity. Cutting through the waves at full speed, feeling the wind on your face, and admiring the coastline from the water provides a true thrill. The secluded coves, turquoise waters, and island landscapes seen from the sea offer a breathtaking spectacle. Supervised by professionals, jet ski outings ensure safety and enjoyment for everyone. The Hills Residence concierge team can book e-foil lessons, jet ski rentals, surf sessions and kayak excursions across Simpson Bay and the island.

Kayak

Kayaking allows you to explore Saint Martin at a gentler, more contemplative pace. Gliding over calm waters through the mangroves or along rocky coastlines offers moments of tranquility and a deep connection with nature. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking to combine light physical activity with immersion in the local flora and fauna. You may spot birds, fish, and sometimes even turtles near the shore.
