St. Thomas Honeymoon

A St. Thomas honeymoon is the epitome of an incredible beach vacation; powdery beaches, turquoise ocean & chilled Caribbean vibes. But when you tire of lazy beach days, St Thomas is jam-packed with activities. Swim with sea-lions at Coral World Ocean Park. Walk botanical gardens at Hawk or St Peter Greathouse Estate. Or seek out a thrill with a zip-line through the rainforest.

St Thomas is a shopper’s paradise with a long history of trade that dates back to the 18th century. Bargains can be had on jewelry, perfume & liquor with some of the most generous duty-free allowances in the Caribbean. Shoppers should head to Main St in Charlotte Amalie or Havensight Mall near the cruise terminal.

St Thomas is well connected if you fancy an adventure and some island hopping with the British Virgin Islands & St Croix nearby. St Thomas is neighbor to St John; the smallest of the US Virgin Islands is just 4 miles away by boat and offers friendly locals, colorful coral reefs and a national park that covers 60% of the island. Head to Trunk Bay which is often voted as one of the world’s best beaches! You can also take day trips to Hassel Island where you can explore many historic sites or Buck Island and snorkel its underwater trails.

A St. Thomas honeymoon is ideal for any type of couple—whether you're looking for the ultimate in relaxation or adventure.

St Thomas has fairly consistent temperatures all year round but be aware that hurricane season runs from July to November. Prices for St. Thomas resorts are at their highest from mid-December to mid-April with February being the busiest month. April to June offers great weather for St. Thomas honeymoons with some of the best value if you're looking to save money.
