The Virgin Islands

AMERICAN PARADISE

Known as “American Paradise,” the Virgin Islands – St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John and Water Island – is an archipelago in the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean. The islands boast rich histories and culture, warm residential communities and stunning natural beauty with rolling hills that cascade into the sugar fine sand beaches and turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Yet, each island has its own distinct personality and allure.

​

St. Thomas

St. Thomas is known for its stunning vistas, beaches, fine dining, vibrant shopping and business districts, nightlife and the hustle and bustle of island living. The most populated of the four islands, St. Thomas is home to one of the longest beaches and most well-sheltered harbors in the Caribbean. The capital of the Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie, retains its historic Danish era architecture, Fort Christian, famous 99-steps, second-oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere, and the childhood neighborhood of the impressionist painter, Camille Pissarro. St. Thomas offers luxury hotels, villas, condominiums and homes throughout the island and its many ports provide access for residents and visitors to nearby St. Croix, St. John, Water Island and the British Virgin islands, by sea plane, ferry, and private or rental boat.

​

St. John

St. John is home to the Virgin Islands National Park that protects over half of the island. The island boasts uninhabited beaches, historic sugar mills, hiking trails, reef preserves and sailing and diving destinations. St. John’s main town, Cruz Bay, is home to boutiques, restaurants, grocery stores and the ferry dock that provides transportation between St. Thomas, St. John and the British Virgin Islands. Most of the homes and resorts, for residents and visitors, are located in and around Cruz Bay and the east end of the island’s Coral Bay.

​

St. Croix

St. Croix is the largest of the four islands. Its 84 square miles offer a wide array of beautiful beaches, dive locations, historic sites, restaurants, resorts and farms. The two main towns, Christiansted and Frederiksted, retain their historic charm and vibrant shopping and dining experiences. Homes and villas are located throughout the island and many of the island's resorts and condominiums are found on the north shore.

Water Island

​

This gem of an island sits peacefully outside the Charlotte Amalie harbor. It is the smallest of the Virgin Islands with homes nestled into its under 500 acres. Pastimes include hiking, exploring the remains of military fortifications, kayaking, boating, watching outdoor movies and enjoying the beach at Honeymoon Bay.
