Where To Stay in St. Thomas

Choosing where to stay in St. Thomas starts with the kind of trip you want. A hotel near town makes it easy to go out for dinner, while a resort or villa can give you more room for slow mornings and time by the water. Decide whether you want to spend most of your time close to your accommodations or use them as a base for exploring.

When you compare properties, look beyond the room type. Check how you’ll get there, what you can reach on foot, and whether a kitchen, pool, or extra bedroom would make the stay easier. If you’re arriving late or traveling between islands, confirm check-in and transportation with the property before making a reservation.

On St. Thomas, Charlotte Amalie, Red Hook, and the Northside can make for very different days. Think about which area you’ll spend the most time in and how you’ll get to your next stop, especially if your plans also include a ferry.
