The Blue Mall shopping mall has officially opened its doors in St Maarten.

St Maarten Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams attended the opening ceremony this weekend for the mall, which is located in the Cupecoy area.

“It is good to see continued investment and diversification in the economy and product of St Maarten and to see this project come to final fruition just in time for the Holiday Festive Season,” Wescot-Williams said at the inauguration.

Some of the shops at the luxury-focused shopping centre include Dolce and Gabbana, Adidas, La Perla, Brioni, Guess and Salvatore Ferragamo.

The more than 110,000-square-foot mall had its soft opening earlier in 2013.
