The Caribbean's Most Family-Friendly Destination
Every travel season brings new activities for kids journeying to St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, and 2008 is no exception. There are enough things to do and see for all ages in the USVI this year, from tours of historic forts to snorkel lessons along an underwater trail that you could come back again and again and not get bored.
Luxury Retreats, www.luxuryretreats.com, the world leader in high-end villa rentals, has villas across each island and recommends doing a little research to match your family with the right destination:
- St. John is great for kids who love nature, with 22 trails tracing its national parkland. This is the place for little explorers, but not for those kids who need malls and amusement parks to keep busy. Our favorite activity on St. John: Snorkeling at Trunk Bay - St. Thomas, on the other hand, is a bustling place with shops and restaurants galore. It's not for families who want to escape the masses, but there will never be a dull moment either. Our favorite activity on St. Thomas: Coral World Ocean Park - St. Croix is a mix of the two, but doesn't quite have the infrastructure of St. Thomas or St. John, so you may need to get creative some days. It's great for passing on incognito history lessons, though. Our favorite activity on St. Croix: Fort Christiansvaern
The majority of USVI villas offered by Luxury Retreats are kid-friendly. In addition to the family atmosphere each property provides, the company's complimentary concierge service can arrange any number of additional services to keep your kids happy in the USVI. That includes special, fun dinners prepared by a private chef, snorkel trips and tours of local pirate hangouts.
