Pristine beaches and crystal clear waters combine with a culturally diverse, artistically vibrant society better known as the US Virgin Islands. St. Thomas offers renown duty-free shopping, breathtaking beaches, championship golf and nonstop nightlife. St. John is a nature lover's dream with over half of the island covered by a national park. St. Croix has a remarkably diverse and beautiful landscape ranging from a lush tropical rainforest to desert vegetation.

St. Thomas - Though it’s only 32 square miles in size, St. Thomas has a million miles worth of things to do. Go shopping and sailing, snorkeling and sightseeing, or diving and dining. Enjoy the island’s world-renowned golf course, picture-perfect beaches and spectacular nightlife.

St. Thomas hotels offer luxurious accommodations to complement the ultimate Caribbean shopping spree. Known for their sophisticated ambiance, superb dining, and spectacular nightlife, hotels in St. Thomas offer a variety of lodging alternatives from grand resort estates to small inns and villas. Although cruise ships sometimes loom in the harbor, visitors to St. Thomas experience breathtaking views, secluded beaches and a deeply relaxing atmosphere. For an unparalleled Caribbean vacation, look no further than St. Thomas!

St.  Croix - Experience the unique culture of St. Croix through its arts, crafts, music and more during a variety of festivals and cultural events throughout the year.  But these are only a few of the things you can enjoy on the island.  St. Croix provides gorgeous beaches, world-class recreational activities, fine dining, casino, and golf.  Although only 22.7 miles long and 8 miles at its widest point, the landscape of St. Croix is surprisingly diverse. Visiting just the two main towns of St. Croix will give you a glimpse of the island’s incredible history—from regal 18th and 19th-century homes in Christiansted to a tropical rain forest in Frederiksted.

St. Croix hotels and resorts include some of the finest accomodations in the Caribbean. Unlike many sprawling resorts, hotels in St. Croix usually have fewer than 200 rooms. Since St. Croix specializes in luxury service and amenities on a more intimate scale, St. Croix visitors enjoy a more personalized stay, whether at a full-service island resort or a small, cozy bed and breakfast. For those who wish to spend the night in a historic hotel, The Buccaneer, just east of Christiansted, is one of the oldest in the Caribbean.  St. Croix accommodations include two 18-hole championship golf course resorts, a casino resort, small hotels, historic inns, guest houses, cottages, private homes, apartments, condominiums, and even campgrounds for those who want to get extra close to nature.

St. John - With 60% of its land area comprising a pristine national park, St. John is as far away as you can get from civilization, but still be just a short distance from upscale jewelry stores and boutiques. A visit to St. John is a must for those seeking true escape.

St. John hotels, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, offer pristine retreats for nature lovers.  Known for its low-key luxury, unspoiled landscapes, scenic views and crystal clear waters, St. John is the smallest U.S. Virgin Island and almost two-thirds national parkland. Hotels in St. John specialize in blending into the existing landscape. On the other hand, St. John offers plenty of excitement that is anything but hard to find. Here you’ll enjoy some of the best scuba and snuba (a combination of snorkeling and scuba) diving in the world, as well as eclectic shops and lively restaurants and bars in Cruz Bay.  St. John also offers a variety of lodging alternatives, including hotels, small inns, villas and campgrounds with wood framed tents.
