St. Thomas Villas & Accommodations

Beach Days & Water Adventures

St. Thomas is famous for its stunning coastline. Spend your days lounging on Magens Bay Beach, snorkeling at Secret Harbour, or kayaking through mangroves at Cas Cay. Charter a private catamaran or yacht for a day of island hopping and discover the nearby cays and coves only accessible by boat.

Island Culture & Historic Exploration

Wander through Charlotte Amalie, the island’s historic capital, known for its charming Danish architecture and vibrant markets. Climb the famous 99 Steps, visit Blackbeard’s Castle, or shop for local treasures and duty-free luxury goods in quaint boutiques along Main Street.

Adventure & Scenic Views

Take the Skyride to Paradise Point for breathtaking panoramic views, or zipline through lush tropical canopies. For hiking enthusiasts, the trails at Phantasea Tropical Botanical Garden or Drake’s Seat offer scenic vistas and the chance to spot exotic flora and fauna.

Romantic Experiences for Couples

Couples will find plenty of intimate and serene experiences in St. Thomas. Watch the sunset from your villa’s infinity pool, indulge in a beachside couple’s massage, or enjoy a candlelit dinner with fresh seafood and Caribbean flavors at a fine-dining restaurant. Take a sunset sail or private beach picnic for a truly unforgettable romantic moment.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to enjoy St. Thomas Virgin Islands villa rentals is from December to April, when the weather is warm and dry. Shoulder seasons like May–June and November offer fewer crowds and great value. Hurricane season typically spans June to November, though many travelers still enjoy peaceful off-season stays.

Packing Essentials

Bring lightweight clothing, swimsuits, reef-safe sunscreen, and sandals for beach days. Don’t forget water shoes for snorkeling and a light jacket for breezy evenings. Casual attire is widely accepted, but a resort-casual outfit is ideal for upscale dining or nightlife.

Visit Neighboring Islands for a Day

Take a short ferry or boat ride to nearby islands like St. John (for hiking in Virgin Islands National Park), Water Island (for a quiet beach day), or even the British Virgin Islands (just don’t forget your passport!). These quick getaways add variety and adventure to your stay.

Stargazing is Surprisingly Spectacular

Thanks to minimal light pollution, St. Thomas offers stunning night skies. Head out to your villa’s terrace or take a beach blanket down to the shore for an unforgettable stargazing session—especially magical for couples or families with kids.

Getting Around

Driving is the easiest way to explore the island, though remember to keep left—St. Thomas drives on the left-hand side of the road. Taxis are available and commonly used, especially in tourist areas. Many St. Thomas villas include private parking and are situated near top attractions.

Currency & Payments

As a U.S. territory, the official currency in St. Thomas is the U.S. Dollar (USD). Credit cards are widely accepted, but carrying small bills is useful for tips or local vendors. No passport is required for U.S. citizens, making travel easy and stress-free.

Time Your Activities with Cruise Ship Schedules

St. Thomas is a popular cruise port, which can bring crowds to key attractions. Plan visits to downtown Charlotte Amalie, Magens Bay, or other hot spots around cruise ship arrivals for a more peaceful experience. Your concierge can help with timing suggestions.

Skip the Grocery Lines with Pre-Stocking Services

Island grocery stores can be crowded—especially on arrival days or weekends. Use our concierge grocery pre-stocking service so your villa is fully stocked when you arrive, giving you more time to enjoy your first day in paradise.
