The U.S. Virgin Islands: A Perfect Tropical Getaway

The U.S. Virgin Islands are an ideal choice for a quick and stress-free escape. Best of all, you don’t need a passport to visit either St. Croix or St. Thomas.

For a truly memorable stay, consider The Buccaneer Beach Resort on St. Croix. With breathtaking views in every direction, the resort offers unlimited access to an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, and a full-service spa. Guests enjoy complimentary snorkeling gear, kayaks, and paddleboards to use at the nearby Mermaid and Grotto Beaches. Families can relax at two freshwater pools, while food lovers can savor a variety of Caribbean cuisine both on and off the property.

Travel Tip: Pack a change of clothes in your carry-on. On my past trip, a short connection in Puerto Rico delayed our luggage, and we had to get creative—making “togas” out of hotel sheets until our bags arrived. If you’re traveling in winter, you’ll definitely appreciate having lighter clothes handy when you land in the tropics!

Exploring the islands is just as rewarding as relaxing. In Frederiksted, stop by the historic Cruzan Rum Distillery, established in 1760, for a fascinating tour and tasting. Then stroll through cobblestone streets lined with Danish colonial architecture, or visit Fort Christianvaern, an 18th-century fortress filled with island history.

Water sports are everywhere—jet skiing at Rainbow Beach, kayaking, or sailing. The Virgin Islands are famous for world-class sailing, and nothing compares to a sunset cruise over crystal-blue waters. Snorkelers and divers will love Buck Island Reef National Monument, the only underwater national monument in the U.S., teeming with colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, and even shipwrecks.

Nearby beaches like Cane Bay and Sandy Point offer even more opportunities to dive into adventure.For a change of pace, wander through the St. George Village Botanical Garden, where more than 1,000 tropical plants flourish across 16 acres. It’s a beautiful way to experience the island’s flora and cultural history.

Whether you crave relaxation, adventure, or a little of both, the U.S. Virgin Islands offer something unforgettable. If you’re ready to plan your own tropical escape, I’d love to help design every step of your journey!
