Recommended Travel Adaptor for Saint Martin
We’ve put many adaptors through their paces while travelling. In this country you’ll need more than one type, as no single adaptor works everywhere. Below you’ll find the ones that passed our tests for safety, reliability and value.
Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Saint Martin is usually visited alongside Anguilla and Saint Barthélemy. Plug types and voltage can differ slightly, so it’s worth checking before you go.
Sockets in Saint Martin
In Saint Martin, you’ll find Type C, D, and E plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type D
Type D sockets have three large round pins in a triangular shape. Unlike Type G, they lack a fuse and the pins are round rather than rectangular.
Type E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A power converter is only required when voltages differ. In Saint Martin it’s about the same as at home in Britain, so you can skip it.
It’s worth checking your device’s voltage rating first. A label showing ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means it’ll work abroad without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s often the overlooked bits of kit that help the most. A luggage scale spares you the stress of overweight bags, a power bank keeps you going when outlets are scarce, and packing cubes keep everything in its place. We’ve tested them on the road, and they really earn their keep.
