Most travelers find 4 to 6 days enough to enjoy both the Dutch and French sides of the island, including time at the beaches, Philipsburg's shops and casinos, and a day trip to a neighboring island like Anguilla or St. Barts. A full week allows a more relaxed pace with time for water sports and day excursions.
