St. Maarten’s iconic all-inclusive resort invites travelers to enjoy famed plane-spotting and island views as part of the latest amenities at the new Ultimate Adults Only Club.

MAHO, St. Maarten (February 2025) – Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa, renowned for its elite plane-spotting vistas just minutes from Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM), announces the opening of Cloud 9 Rooftop Bar, as the latest way for travelers to experience one-of-a-kind glimpses of landings, take-offs, and overall island sights. Part of the new Ultimate Adults Only Club, the resort’s premium collection of adults-only accommodations, guests can expect unparalleled views while indulging in craft cocktails, delicious bites, and live music on select nights, in a sophisticated atmosphere.

“Travelers and locals alike cherish plane-spotting from Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, and we’re thrilled to debut Cloud 9 as an elevated option for travelers to take in this unique pastime from a serene and modern lounge setting,” said Jamie Lee, vice president resort operations at Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten. “As more guests discover the Ultimate Adults Only Club, our team is excited to showcase a refined take on Dutch Caribbean hospitality.”

The new Ultimate Adults Only Club at Sonesta Maho Beach Resort hosts a dedicated experience for groups, couples and solo travelers to enjoy the classic Maho Beach atmosphere while opting for sleek, adults-only rooms and suites, alongside exclusive dining and amenities. As the name implies, the Cloud 9 Rooftop Bar is located on the ninth floor of Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, taking over previously unused roof space to create a daily lounge and nightly laidback setting to take in the surrounding landscape and scenery.

The club’s Cloud 9 Bar presents a new site for live entertainment, drinks and bites, whether a pre-casino sip or a nightcap. The Ultimate Club also boasts the Ultimate Club Lounge, where guests can enjoy their morning cup of coffee or browse stunning views from the comfort of the new indoor setting. Guests staying at Ocean Point Resort are also welcome to access the freshly introduced features to take in views or toast to nighttime drinks for an added element to their adults-only all-inclusive stay.

True to the Dutch Caribbean’s lush and varied soft adventure offerings – from ziplining in the mountains to hiking – plane-spotting is another thrilling way for visitors to immerse in the stunning St. Maarten environs. The island’s international appeal attracts flights from around the world, where aviation enthusiasts can marvel at aircrafts arriving from and departing to multiple continents and neighboring islands like Saba, St. Barts and Anguilla, where visitors can also get a taste of island-hopping easily accessed from Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten.

The resort is just launched live webcam showcases a 180-degree look at the SXM runway and surrounding waters for prime plane-spotting, even from home. After a day lounging on Maho Beach to catch planes as they land, guests can enjoy the candy-colored sunset views in comfort at Cloud 9, taking in the landscape of the airport runway, golf course, and the Caribbean Sea.
