Transfer to the restored Rockland Estate plantation house, originally built in the 1700s. It houses a museum that tells the powerful story of Trace Wilson, born into slavery on the property in 1818. You'll learn what 19th-century life was like on the plantation.
Among St Maarten's newest attractions is the Soualiga Sky Explorer chairlift, right here on Rockland Estate. From the lift, you will view St Maarten from a different perspective, as the approximately 25-minute ride offers breathtaking views of the stunning island landscape, peaks and valleys. At 1,125 feet above sea level, you'll find yourself atop Sentry Hill with a 360-degree view of St Maarten and the neighboring islands of Saba, St Eustatius, St Barts, St Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla.
Heading down the mountainside, you will dine in a former sugarcane boiling house. The Chef greets you and takes you through a four-course tasting menu. 'Dine with History' is the theme and, indeed, this gourmet tasting lunch in Emilio's is a culinary journey back in time.
