Turtle Village
If you want to do some shopping but don’t feel like driving to some of the island’s major retail complexes, Turtle Village is the place to go. This boutique shopping centre has a range of restaurants as well as a market and convenience stores. There is a Jim Thompson outlet in Turtle Village as well as a Coffee Club and a number of speciality shops.
