St. John fulfills many peoples' vision of an ideal tropical destination and we share their enthusiasm. St. John is a small island of just 28 square miles and part of that alluring chain of islands known as the United States Virgin Islands. All visitors to this very special island arrive into the town of Cruz Bay by ferry from St. Thomas. Cruz Bay is charming and the pace of life here is decidedly slow and relaxed. Wander the streets of Cruz Bay and discover dozens of boutiques, artisan shops, bars, and restaurants, including some truly excellent restaurants. The atmosphere is wonderfully friendly and you will feel like a local in no time at all.
Two thirds of the island consists of The United States Virgin Islands National Park. Large areas of the island are free of development which makes exploring all the more rewarding. Ecotourism is alive and well on St. John. The Cruz Bay Visitors Center is just a short walk from the ferry docks and is will worth a visit for first timers. The Visitors Center offers maps, video, exhibits, books, and Park Rangers to assist you in planning your exploration of the park. Hiking, historical tours, snorkeling and cultural craft demonstrations are all possible.
The beaches of St. John are among the most beautiful in the world - Hawksnest Bay, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Maho Bay are each stunning white sand beaches edging turquoise and emerald water. Water sports are easily arranged and most companies have an office in Cruz Bay.
As you explore St. John you will discover historic sugar mill ruins, the sleepy village of Coral Bay, more gorgeous white sand beaches than you expected, and everywhere the glorious views of offshore islands in a cerulean sea.
LaCURE Villas offers the most luxurious and desirable private homes available on St. John.
