Almost a century ago this shopping and dining complex was home to a hospital turned elderly care facility. Though the hospital is long gone, the site still bears the same name because of the historical connection to the land and the fact that the revenue from property rentals still provides care for the elderly on St. Maarten.
Sint Rose Arcade is located at 35 Front Street in Philipsburg. The area encompasses from the boardwalk to Front Street; comprised of restaurants, bars, health and wellness establishments, and of course, keepsake shopping. The remarkable ocean view is breathtaking and St. Rose Arcade is bound to satisfy every need you may have.

Oualichi Beach Bar and Restaurant
This beach restaurant combines some of the best attributes St. Maarten has to offer: it's located right on the Boardwalk on the long sweep of Great Bay Beach. Yet, Oualichi is only steps away from the Eastern Caribbean's best shopping district. And to follow the third attribute our island is famous for - great cuisine - you'll find an amazing variety of dishes offered, with a hint of French heritage but also plenty of snacks assigned to the label 'comfort food'.
