St. Croix is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands and the least built-up. The East End — where The Cerulean sits — is its driest, quietest corner: dry forest, empty preserve beaches, and the easternmost point in the United States, all a short drive from the villa.
You’re about fifteen minutes from Christiansted, the historic harbor town where most of the island’s restaurants and shops are. No passport needed — it’s U.S. soil, and the dollar is the currency.
Two of the island's most pristine beaches sit inside a 300-acre preserve protected by The Nature Conservancy since 1999. There's no road in — you reach them on foot, which is exactly why the sand stays empty. Guests reach the trailhead in about a five-minute drive.
The easternmost point in the United States, marked by the Millennium Monument on a headland of dry forest and cliffs. It's the classic East End sunrise spot, minutes from the villa.
A nine-hole course with fescue-lined fairways winding through the hills above Teague Bay — an easy, scenic round close to home on the East End.
The island's historic Danish harbor town, with the yellow walls of Fort Christiansvaern, a boardwalk on the water, and most of St. Croix's restaurants and shops. Close enough for dinner, far enough to feel away.
Point Udall catches the country’s first sunrise; the ridge behind the villa holds the last of the light. You get both.
We keep a small journal of honest, first-hand notes on the East End — the hike to Jack & Isaac Bay, snorkeling off the beach, a morning in Christiansted, and how to spend a week here. Read the journal →
