4-Star Hotels in Saint Croix

The largest of the US Virgin Islands, Saint Croix offers a distinct blend of Caribbean ease and American convenience. History is tangible here, from the sugar plantation ruins at Estate Whim to the pastel buildings of Christiansted’s waterfront. The real magic, however, lies offshore: Buck Island Reef National Monument provides some of the finest snorkeling in the Caribbean, with an underwater trail through elkhorn coral gardens. On the west end, the waves at Sandy Point meet a beach so expansive it feels like another world.

This island suits travelers looking to unwind without a passport. Couples find romance in the historic districts, while families appreciate the calm, swimmable waters of places like Cane Bay. Renting a car is the best way to explore, from the rainforest hills of the north shore to the dry plains of the east end. Henry E. Rohlsen Airport offers direct flights from the US mainland and connections from neighboring islands. For your stay, consider the walkable grid of Christiansted for dining and shops, or the more relaxed North Shore for proximity to beaches.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find a solid range of places to stay. Accommodation is dominated by mid-range beachfront resorts and charming, historic inns.
