WHERE TO STAY, EAT, & PLAY IN THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS

 
 

Desperately in need of a warm weather getaway but just realized that your passport expired? Well, don't worry I'm here to share what you need to know about the U.S. Virgin Islands.

And yes, you can go without a passport, because like Puerto Rico it's a U.S. territory. But also this is a PSA to check your passport expiration date!

I’m sharing just a few of my recommendations for how you can spend a day in St. Thomas!

STAY: @ritzcarltonstthomas underwent a $100 million renovation in 2019 and it shows. Think of it as a paradise where you can spend your days splashing in the turquoise Caribbean Sea or strolling the white-sand beaches of Great Bay.

Opt for one of the 55 Club Level rooms and in addition to some of the best ocean views on property, you'll also have access to an exclusive lounge, a dedicated concierge, and complimentary food and beverages during the day. Plus, as client of @perspectivestravel I can add on some sweet amenities like daily breakfast, priority for upgrades, and so much more!

Take out the hotel's private 60’ catamaran to go snorkeling, on a sunset sail or for your own private charter. And don't miss the seaside cabana for relaxing massages on the water's edge.

EAT: Open air dining is one of the best parts of island vacations, and their are lots of options in St. Thomas!
@tickles.dockside.pub has a laid back atmosphere and incredible views. Plus, you can catch the ferry from here to Water Island for sundowners.

@greengoscantina is home of authentic Sonoran style Mexican, and over 300 Agave Tequilas. I pop into the one in San Juan, for the margs and tacos every visit!

Don't miss @magensbayconcessions, which is known for a lot of things, including the Pain Killer, a delicious blend of @pussersrum, fruit juice, and cream of coconut.

PLAY: Open water, blue skies and white-sand beaches make St. Thomas the perfect island getaway. And after your beach time, there are plenty of opportunities for active exploration, from snorkeling or scuba diving trips to hiking, zip-lining and more. @virginislandsnps is the place to explore tropical rainforests, visit the highest peak on the island at Mountain Top St. Thomas, and go snorkeling at @buckisland_nps.

Reach out when you’re ready for your next St. Thomas stay! I’m here to VIP your travel and make sure that you have the perfect sun & fun perfect itinerary!
