General presentation

Îles Vierges américaines

Beaches, dry hills, marine parks and historic cities connect Saint-Thomas, Saint-John and Sainte-Croix.

The discovery of the American Virgin Islands is centred around Saint Thomas, St. Croix and Saint John. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline, the heritage and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

See all

For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: transport and openings to be confirmed and weather likely to modify the program. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Remarkable location

Saint Thomas

4.6 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Saint Thomas combines the lively port of Charlotte Amalie, hills covered with colourful houses and turquoise bays such as Magens Bay. The island receives many cruisers, but its views, its former fortifications and its crossings to the neighbouring islands make it possible to vary clearly the stay.

Remarkable location

Sainte-Croix

4.6 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

St. Croix is distinguished by its two historic cities, Christiansted and Frederiksted, its old plantations and a wider coastline than that of the other U.S. Virgin Islands. Between diving, distilleries, beaches and Danish buildings, the island is suitable for travellers who want to mix sea and history without staying around a single port.

Remarkable location

Saint John

4.6 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Saint John keeps a large share of protected landscapes, with forest trails, plantations ruins and beaches like Trunk Bay or Cinnamon Bay. The island lends itself well to slow days between snorkeling, walking and ferry crossings from Saint Thomas, with a less urban atmosphere than its neighbours.

Nature park

Parc national des îles Vierges

4.6 / 5· Hidengo2 hrs to half a day

The Virgin Islands National Park covers a large part of Saint John, from dry hills to nearshore reefs. The trails lead to petroglyphs, beaches, old sweets and gazebos, while the seabed make the visit as interesting with a mask as with walking shoes.
