The French and Dutch Lowlands are home to some of the finest
villas,
hotels,
and restaurants on the island.
Starz Casino was destroyed in Hurricane Irma, taking several restaurants with it,notably Temptationn. Porto Cupecoy now has Mario's Bistro, renamed Mario Bistrot and Altro Italian Bistro. Even though it was sold in 2019, the reviewws have been good. Just over the border is the luxurious La Samanna and its restaurant.
The Dutch side hosts world-famous clothing-optional Cupecoy Beach. This beach looks south to southwest affording great sunsets and has Dany and the boys providing chairs, umbrellas, drinks, and BBQ. The French lowlands has Bay Long and Plum Bay. Bay Long is a beautiful white crescent with La Samanna at its southern end and public access, but no amenities, in the middle. A bit further is Plum Bay or Bay of Prunes which has public access and no facilities.
Porto Cup[ecoy has Carrefour mini-mart some clothing. La Samanna has several high end stores.
The Blue Mall opened a few years ago bringing many shops, a few restaurants, and free covered parking, but closed shortly thereafter. Damage from Huricane Irma will keep it closed even longer.
