Activities
Guests may enjoy simply reading or sunbathing on their private balcony or relaxing poolside at the inn’s pool, which offers views of the harbor and St. Thomas.
St. John offers a wide range of activities and excursions such as hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling, sport fishing, parasailing, day sails, sea kayaking, windsurfing, island tours, and boat rentals. As St. John’s center of commerce, nearby Cruz Bay is home to businesses that offer all of these activities. We would be pleased to assist you with information or arrangements for any of them.
The white sand and tranquil turquoise waters of secluded Honeymoon and Salomon beaches are just a short hike from the Estate along National Park trails.
The fine shops, art galleries, jewelers, restaurants, and cafés of charming Cruz Bay are also within easy walking distance.
If you are interested in visiting other islands for the day, St. Thomas and its capital city, Charlotte Amalie, are renowned for duty-free shopping. In addition, the British Virgin Islands—Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and Virgin Gorda—are easily accessible by organized day trips or scenic ferry rides.
