The ultimate luxury travel experience to the island of St. Maarten is now available with La Compagnie and its brand-new Airbus A321LR aircraft, offering a top-tier onboard product that includes lie-flat seats, three-course meals, champagne and unlimited high-speed free Wi-Fi. Beginning November 19, this French all-Business Class airline will operate flights from Newark to St. Maarten, bringing unparalleled opulence to the U.S.-Caribbean market.

Chartered by New Jersey-based tour operator E. Clarke Travel, these flights are part of deluxe holiday packages to the Caribbean destination and nearby Anguilla and St. Barths islands. The tour operator has carefully selected a short list of the best hotels and villas for guests. Reservations are now open on the tour operator's website and at selected travel agents. Departures are scheduled for every Sunday morning, with returns in the early afternoon until the end of April.

Guests will enjoy a VIP experience in the air and on the ground. Upon arrival in St. Maarten, they will be met by an agent who will take care of their luggage in a dedicated facility near the terminal and then escorted to their hotels via private vans, planes or boats.

Returning home, guests can access dedicated check-in desks and fast-track security and immigration at Princess Juliana International Airport.

They can relax in an area just steps from their gate while awaiting boarding, enjoying a rich travel experience from start to finish.

Beyond the Beach - Why Miami's Coconut Grove is booming

Miami’s oceanfront neighborhoods may grab international attention, but other parts of town offer as much appeal. The entire city is booming with development, says Jaclyn Bild, a broker associate with Douglas Elliman who was born and brought up in Miami. “The beating heart of Miami is now on the mainland, whereas before it was all about the Beach,” she says. “Neighborhoods that have been around forever are transforming into trend centers, and others are burgeoning for the first time.”

Since its opening in 2006, it has been inherently clear that this hotel caters largely to oenophiles. But after a twoyear $25 million renovation completed earlier this year, there have been a few notable additions to the premises: new rooms, a refreshed lobby and expanded bar, as well as a newfound emphasis on speaking to a sober or sober-curious audience.
