St. Thomas offers glimmering bays, shimmering seas, powdery beaches, towering green hills, a languorous climate, relaxed lifestyle, and unsurpassed shopping. Natural beauty and man’s bounty are waiting to make your vacation one that will be long remembered and likely repeated. The Virgin Islands lie in the vast crescent chain of the Caribbean Islands, 1000 miles from Miami and 1500 from New York, with the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea washing their shores. With year-round temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees, the Virgin Islands assure visitors one beautiful balmy day after another.
No visit to St. Thomas would be complete without exploring Charlotte Amalie. Fascinating architecture, beautiful houses of worship, and intriguing museums are just some of the things to discover while walking through its narrow streets. A climb up the town’s famous 99 Steps or a ride on the Tram will reward you with a spectacular view of the harbor. A multitude of activities and breathtaking views from such places as Mountain Top, Drake’s Seat, and Paradise Point will make your stay even more memorable. Amaze yourself with St. Thomas’ natural wonders underwater at the island’s unique Coral World aquarium. Embark on a treasure hunt for one-of-a-kind pieces of art at Tillet Gardens. Discover limitless bargains on brand-name, quality merchandise whether you shop the historic streets of downtown or Havensight Mall. A $1,600 duty-free allowance for U.S. citizens makes shopping a must and with a selection of fine wine, jewelry, perfume, artwork, clothing, crafts, and more, you’ll want to get something for everyone on your list - especially yourself!
