Caneel Bay,
A resort in a league of its own!

"With 7 beaches, a location in the Virgin Islands National Park, Caneel Bay resort couldn’t possibly offer more serenity! Who wouldn’t want to stay at a resort on their vacation that has 7 beaches?"

This fabulous resort is located on the north side of the island of St John. This area is well known for its beautiful beaches, turquoise water and great snorkeling. It has over 170 acres of land that’s located within the National Park that Laurance Rockefeller once owned and preserved.

The resort was built so it would compliment the landscaping. The buildings seem to naturally flow with the gardens and tropical foliage and the rooms are beautiful! Many of the rooms have stone and natural wood that give them a special warm feeling. "I loved this place!"

"This gorgeous resort is the place for a complete get-a-way."
