SSS Islands

The SSS islands consist of the islands of the Lesser Antilles which are under Dutch sovereignty:

  • Saint Martin
  • Saba
  • Sint Eustatius

Saint Martin Island contains both the country Sint Maarten, which is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Martin. The islands of Saba and Sint Eustatius are part of the Netherlands.

The acronym is analogous to the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, all of which were formerly part of the Netherlands Antilles.
