ST. CROIX HONEYMOON resorts
The Buccaneer
Begin your island honeymoon with a stay at The Buccaneer. This award-winning luxury resort offers plenty to do, with three secluded beaches perfect for snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding (gear provided), a scenic 18-hole golf course overlooking the Caribbean Sea and complete spa services. Dining includes a complimentary breakfast buffet at The Terrace Restaurant, lunch at the breezy Mermaid Restaurant and Friday night dinner at Beauregard’s on the Beach, complete with mesmerizing fire dancers.
The Waves Cane Bay
For a more intimate St. Croix honeymoon experience, cuddle up in one of the 11 chic suites at The Waves Cane Bay. Perched directly over the water, you’ll be captivated by the stunning sea views from your own private balcony or patio. The boutique hotel’s lauded AMA at Cane Bay restaurant boasts a panoramic vista of the bay’s turquoise waters. Caribbean-inspired dishes are determined by the fresh ingredients sourced from local farmers and fishermen. Toast your union with an artisanal cocktail at the hotel’s lovely Sunset Bar.
Sand Castle on the Beach
The Sand Castle on the Beach is an adults-only boutique hotel located along the shore of Dorsch Beach. Enjoy the sparkling water view from your beachfront villa or kick back by the poolside tiki bar (try the pineapple martini). Head to the hotel’s alfresco Beach Side Cafe for brunch (with mimosas!), lunch or dinner. Specialties include seafood chowder dotted with shrimp and white fish, grilled mahi in lemon-butter sauce and tropical cheesecake for dessert. Note that the hotel’s courtyard pool is clothing optional.
romantic excursions
Equus Rides
Take a horseback ride with your sweetheart led by Equus Rides. Arrange a private ride for two, where you’ll trot along North Shore Road and pass historic sugar plantation ruins. But the highlight of the tour is a plunge into the sea atop your gentle horse, with a brief swim in the impossibly blue waters. Riders of all skill levels are welcome.
Caribbean Sea Adventures
Expect good vibes, Instagram-worthy sunset views and plenty of cocktails during the Friday night adults-only Sunset Cruise with Caribbean Sea Adventures. Board the luxe Celebration catamaran, kick off your shoes and be ready to dance to the nonstop music. Sip on cocktails mixed with spirits from St. Croix’s own Mutiny Island Vodka or grab an ice-cold Leatherback Brewing Co. beer, produced right on the island.
lyric sails
Set off on one of the daily all-ages Sunset Sails with Lyric Sails . Departing from Frederiksted Pier, the bright-red Jolly Mon catamaran cruises along the postcard-perfect west end of St. Croix. Depending on the winds, you may drift by Sandy Point to see turtle tracks on the shore. Onboard there’s live music and free bottomless rum punch. Plus, there’s a cash bar offering drinks and wine. This is a shoeless cruise, so be ready to surrender your sandals before boarding.
date-night dining
Savant
Spark romance on your St. Croix honeymoon as you dine by candlelight in historic surroundings at Savant, consistently rated one of the top restaurants in the Caribbean. Savant is housed in a turquoise-hued Dutch colonial building next to the fabled Fort Christiansvaern. Choose from the swanky dining room or sexy stone courtyard seating. The upscale bistro menu of farm-to-table fare is paired with an expertly curated wine list. House favorites include chargrilled baby calamari and the hand-cut ribeye steak draped with green peppercorn demi cream sauce.
Too.Chez Restaurant + Bar
Get cozy in the charming courtyard of Too.Chez Restaurant + Bar, located in a superbly restored historical building in the heart of Christiansted. The New American menu features French and Caribbean influences. Start with the lobster cakes or handmade sweet potato-and-gorgonzola ravioli, then move on to entrees like the grilled filet au poivre with wild mushroom bordelaise or baked salmon. Try a Love Potion #9 (a mix of rum, coconut cream, pineapple and fresh-squeezed lemon juice).
Brew STX
Head to the picturesque Christiansted Boardwalk for craft beers and elevated pub fare at Brew STX. The two-story, open-air restaurant/microbrewery features sweeping views of boats bobbing in the harbor. Sample a flight of house-brewed beers to discover your favorite (like the Mango Lager). The extensive menu includes casual eats like buffalo chicken dip, beer-battered mahi tacos and the grilled steak of the day with garlic mashed potatoes. Catch live music on select nights.
