Since reopening on October 20, 2026, Ratafia has once again welcomed cocktail lovers and nightlife enthusiasts to Cupecoy, Sint Maarten. With panoramic Caribbean Sea views, creative mixology, and DJ sets, this tropical rooftop brings together everything that makes an island evening memorable, from golden hour to late-night celebrations.
Some places are perfect for a quick drink. Others make you want to stay all night.
Since its October 20 reopening, Ratafia has brought its signature rooftop atmosphere back to Cupecoy. With chic tropical and tiki-inspired decor, inventive cocktails, and a cosmopolitan crowd, the venue invites guests to rediscover a distinctive side of Sint Maarten nightlife.
Here, the evening begins with a view of the horizon and continues to the rhythm of the music.
Sunset Views Are Back in Cupecoy
One of Ratafia’s greatest attractions is its elevated location, offering panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea.
Early in the evening, the rooftop sets a relaxed yet sophisticated mood. The last rays of sunshine accompany the first cocktails, while conversations unfold against an open Caribbean backdrop.
As darkness falls, the atmosphere gradually shifts.
DJ sets, themed parties, and music-driven events bring a different energy to the space. Signature gatherings such as Margarita Mondays and SATURDANCE have become part of the venue’s festive identity.
This effortless transition from sunset cocktails to late-night entertainment is what makes Ratafia stand out: one rooftop, several experiences, and an atmosphere that evolves throughout the evening.
Signature Cocktails Inspired by Caribbean Flavors
At Ratafia, mixology is at the heart of the experience.
The cocktail menu highlights fresh ingredients, house-made syrups, and spirits infused on-site, resulting in imaginative creations with distinctive flavor combinations.
The Hot Honey Margarita combines jalapeño-infused Reposado tequila with a spicy kick, while the Caribbean Birdcelebrates the rich flavors of Caribbean rum.
Another standout, the Ultimate Piña Colada, is served directly inside a whole fresh pineapple. Its tropical presentation perfectly captures the playful yet sophisticated spirit of the rooftop.
To complement the drinks, Ratafia also offers a selection of shareable dishes, wines, Champagne, and Persian caviar.
The menu is designed to extend the experience, whether guests stop by for an early cocktail or settle in for an entire evening.
A Rooftop That Brings Sint Maarten Nightlife Back to Life
With its reopening, Ratafia has reclaimed its place as a gathering spot for those seeking rooftop bars, signature cocktails, and lively evenings in Sint Maarten.
A romantic sunset drink, an aperitif with friends, a few dishes to share, or a DJ-led night out: the venue offers different ways to enjoy the evening without ever changing locations.
Located in Cupecoy, on the Dutch side of the island, Ratafia appeals to both travelers looking for a rooftop with ocean views and locals ready to reconnect with its festive, sophisticated atmosphere.
Since October 20, the cocktails have returned, the music is playing again, and Caribbean sunsets have found their rooftop destination in Cupecoy.
