Sky Supermarket — Simpson Bay's Everyday Grocer
Groceries and a sneaky-good wine selection.
Why Go
Sky Supermarket in Simpson Bay has earned a quiet reputation that goes beyond basic grocery shopping. Yes, it stocks the essentials — but it is the surprisingly decent wine selection that keeps people coming back for a second look.
The Experience
Sky Supermarket serves the Simpson Bay community as a local grocery store with a selection of fresh produce, international products, and everyday essentials. Open daily from 9 AM to 8 PM — including Sundays — it keeps the most visitor-friendly hours of any grocery store in the area. The location in Simpson Bay makes it accessible to the dense concentration of hotels, condos, and vacation rentals in the neighborhood. What makes Sky stand out among the area's grocery options is a wine selection that has earned specific mentions from shoppers. On an island where wine is often overpriced at restaurants, finding a grocery store with a curated bottle selection at retail prices is valuable intelligence. The store caters to both residents doing daily shops and visitors picking up vacation supplies.
What to Try
Browse the wine section — it has been specifically praised for quality and variety beyond what you would expect from a neighborhood grocery. Check for French and Italian options that benefit from the island's proximity to European trade routes. Daily essentials are reliably stocked.
Insider Tip
Sky Supermarket's Sunday hours (9 AM-8 PM) make it one of the only full-day grocery options on the island's day of rest. Most competitors close by 2 PM on Sundays, so Sky becomes the default for anyone who needs groceries in the evening. The wine selection is the insider draw — come for the bread, stay for the Bordeaux.
