Grenada
Grenada, the "Spice Island," is known for its unspoiled, mountainous beauty and for the friendliest people in the West Indies. Grenada's waterfalls, lush rain forests, volcanic crater lake, tiny villages, cocoa, nutmeg and banana plantations, rum distilleries, scenic hiking trips, pristine coral reefs, and hidden-away unspoiled beaches all make Grenada one of the most popular ecotourism destinations for those who like to discover off-the-beaten-track natural beauty and charm.

St. Croix
Old world ambience, quaint architecture and a relaxing slower pace combine with abundant flora, fauna and uncrowded palm-fringed white sand beaches to enhance a St. Croix villa vacation. the largest of the three U.S. Virgins, St. Croix offers a wide variety of island activities: diving, sailing, snorkeling at Buck Island National Monument, parasailing and windsurfing, gambling at the new Divi Carina Bay Hotel, exploring botanical gardens, museums, duty-free shopping in historic Christiansted and Frederiksted, sampling excellent restaurant fare, horseback riding, nature hikes, and three golf courses. Not yet on the beaten tourist track, St. Croix offers serenity amidst colonial charm for a refreshing holiday.

St. John
St. John is the smallest U.S. Virgin Island, located just a 20-minute ferryboat ride from St. Thomas' east end. Two-thirds of this quaint and scenic island is National Park with hiking trails, an underwater snorkel trail, historic sugar mills ruins, and unparalleled white sand beaches. We're happy to offer some first-class villas for those who wish to savor St John's old world charm, leisurely pace, and natural beauty for their stay in America's paradise.

St. Thomas
Crystalline water, clean white sand beaches. Towering palm trees waving in the tropical breeze. Sun-dazzled days and starlit nights. Constant year-round trade winds cooling our lush island. This is St. Thomas, an American paradise peppered with pulsating Caribbean ambience. It's the crossroads of the Caribbean, a place where "manana" often reigns amidst the bustle of commerce. Pack your curiosity along with your swimsuit. Look beyond the luxury and peaceful relaxation of your vacation villa and see what makes St. Thomas tick. But don't forget the reason you're here - to unwind and enjoy and bake in the sun.

Tortola
If you want an unhurried, quiet stay, if you don't want more than to sit poolside or on the beach with a good book, or to explore Tortola's verdant hills, and if you can do without varied nightlife, then the British Virgin Islands may be just right for you! Tortola, just a few miles east of St. Thomas, is a much slower-paced island offering lovely, uncrowded beaches and unparalleled sailing, diving and other watersports. Tortola is easily reached via a 45-minute ferry ride or by seaplane from St. Thomas, or by plane from Puerto Rico to Tortola's airport on Beef Island. Everyone in the British Virgin Islands speaks English, of course, and currency is the U.S. dollar.

Virgin Gorda
Virgin Gorda is the idyllic beach retreat for many island connoisseurs. Less developed and slower-paced than Tortola, Virgin Gorda has a mountainous, dry terrain dotted with cactus. Spectacular white sand beaches are edged by a turquoise sea and wondrous coral reefs for snorkeling and diving. Especially memorable are The Baths, where immense boulders are scattered along stunning beaches, creating magical grottos and a truly exotic landscape. The British Virgin Islanders are welcoming and friendly. Virgin Gorda is reached via ferry from Tortola, or on small aircraft flights from San Juan or St. Thomas.
