Check Availability & Pricing
Amenity highlights: The resort features three beautiful, soft-sand beaches. Whistle Beach, accessible only by path, offers tranquil swimming and sunbathing. A close-in reef creates calm-water swimming and snorkeling off Grotto Beach; a freeform pool is adjacent. Centrally located Mermaid Beach includes a casual restaurant and bar. The 18-hole championship golf course overlooks the sea. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily in an open-air restaurant in the Great House, with panoramic Caribbean Sea views.
Insider tip: Parts of the Great House date from the 1650s, when a Knight of Malta established a tobacco-and-indigo plantation on the site. He situated the Great House slightly behind a hilltop to conceal it from pirates. As a boy, Alexander Hamilton lived there, as did St. Croix's first Danish governor.
