Small Markets for Convenience. A Full Supermarket for the Big Shop.
If you're stocking up for several days—especially for a group—it makes more sense to use one of the larger supermarkets once you have a vehicle.
If You Have a Car
Stock the Villa at Super U.
Super U in Hope Estate is one of the most practical full-size grocery options for guests staying in Grand Case. The larger supermarket format makes it a better choice for produce, meat, dairy, breakfast items, drinks, wine, snacks, and everything else you may want for a week at the villa.
Hope Estate is close to Grand Case, so this is the kind of grocery run worth making once, then using the neighborhood markets for anything you forgot.
Beyond the Grocery Run
Two Sides of the Island. Two Different Shopping Days.
Marigot brings French-side markets, boutiques, and waterfront shopping. Philipsburg delivers the island's best-known duty-free shopping streets on the Dutch side.

Marigot or Philipsburg?
French Side
Marigot
Choose Marigot when you want the French-side shopping experience: local market stalls, waterfront browsing, boutiques, gifts, and a more relaxed town-and-marina atmosphere.
- Marigot Market: fresh produce, fish, spices, crafts, clothing, souvenirs, and local specialties along the waterfront.
- Le West Indies: an indoor waterfront shopping center with boutiques, beauty, dining, and air conditioning.
- Marina Port La Royale: boutiques and small shops mixed with waterfront restaurants and marina views.
- Town boutiques: French and European-influenced clothing, gifts, jewelry, and specialty shops around central Marigot.
Dutch Side
Philipsburg

- Front Street: the island's best-known shopping strip, especially for jewelry, watches, electronics, clothing, and gifts.
- Back Street & Old Street: more shops, local finds, souvenirs, and side-street browsing behind Front Street.
