Where do you normally stay when you visit us on St. Thomas for your island vacation?


There are plenty of options on this beautiful island from hotels, inns, Airbnbs, to private villas.


On a recent scroll through Instagram (Are you following us there yet? We’re @virginislandsecotours *wink wink*), we fell down the rabbit hole gazing at all of the incredible vacation rentals that are popping up on St. Thomas.


If you’re coming to the island with a group, or are in the mood to treat yo’self, or you just want to swoon along with us, check out these four particularly stunning villas that are available for rent in the Virgin Islands.

Villa Del Mar

Villa Del Mar boasts five full suites and is located on the Northside of St. Thomas. We’re pretty obsessed with all of the private terraces that take in the full view of the Caribbean sea. And, of course, would you look at this pool view:

Villa Milagro

Villa Milagro is on the quiet West End of St. Thomas, so it’s truly a peaceful retreat. This villa is perfect for two (or a family of four) with two-bedrooms and one bath. The glam interior and sweeping views are perfect for a luxurious escape.

Villa Palmera

Villa Palmera has been chiseled into the cliffside with panoramic views of the coastline and neighboring Virgin islands. It was even designed with uninhabited island Hans Lollik its focal point. Every one of the four bedrooms will remind you of a 5-star hotel suite. And would you look at this pool… we could sit there all day:

Villa Samadhi

A kitchen with white cabinets and marble counter tops.

Villa Samadhi is not yet available for rent, but coming soon. We cannot get enough of the sneak peeks we’ve been spotting on Instagram. Gorgeous bedrooms and a ultra modern kitchen your chef will drool over, this luxury villa is one we’d love to stay in too.
