Maho Market — Your Maho Beach Grocery Stop
Beach snacks, groceries, and vacation essentials near the runway.
Why Go
Staying in the Maho area means being close to the beach, the nightlife, and the famous plane-spotting — but it also means needing a grocery store that does not require a drive across the island. Maho Market fills that role with a mix of everyday groceries, beach essentials, and the items you forgot to pack.
The Experience
Maho Market operates as a local supermarket and variety store serving the concentration of hotels, condos, and vacation rentals around Maho Beach and the airport area. The inventory balances practical groceries — fresh produce, meats, dairy, beverages, snacks — with tourist-oriented items like beach gear, sunscreen, and souvenirs. It functions as the neighborhood corner store for the Maho strip, which means it is where you go for a bottle of water, a six-pack, or breakfast supplies without needing to drive to one of the larger supermarkets in Cole Bay or Philipsburg. The duty-free pricing on alcohol makes it a smart stop for stocking up before a beach day or a condo evening. The location near Burger Bar SXM and Mr. Papaya's coffee spot makes it part of a natural Maho routine.
What to Try
Pick up cold drinks and snacks before heading to Maho Beach — prices are better here than at the beach bars. The alcohol selection benefits from duty-free pricing. Check for local hot sauces and Caribbean snacks to bring home as souvenirs.
Insider Tip
Maho Market is the fastest grocery option if you are staying at any of the Maho-area resorts or condos. For a full weekly shop, you will want one of the larger Carrefour locations, but for daily needs and impulse purchases, this saves a 15-minute drive each way.
