THE PROPERTY

Aquamarina is a gated waterfront community with a 24/7 security guard, a communal pool, a gym and a marina on the lagoon, with grounds kept to a high standard. Monthly fees for the villa are US$1,200; ask us what they cover before you make an offer.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: MAHO

Maho is the island’s liveliest corner, at the end of the airport runway where jets pass low over Maho Beach. Maho Village puts a casino, restaurants, bars and duty-free shops within a few walkable blocks, with Mullet Bay Beach and the island’s only golf course next door. Aquamarina sits on the quieter lagoon side at Point Pirouette, a few minutes from the village and the airport.

BUYING IN MAHO

Maho is on the Dutch side. Foreign buyers purchase freely, in their own name or through a company. A civil-law notary checks the title, holds the deposit (usually 10%) and registers the deed. Transfer tax is 4%, paid by the buyer, and total closing costs commonly come to about 5.5% of the price. Our buyer guide on [hidden information] explains each step.
