With three fabulous beaches, two freshwater swimming pools, an 18-hole, par-70 golf course, eight tennis courts, a spa, and a fitness center, couples can enjoy a delightful honeymoon without ever leaving the premises of The Buccaneer.

The Beach Shack, a water sports center, provides guests with ocean kayaks, snorkeling gear, and floating mats at no charge. There are two-hour scuba classes, followed by a shallow open-water dive on another day.

The grounds include a scenic two-mile jogging trail, and the fitness center is outfitted with treadmills, recumbent cycles, and free weights. Classes in yoga, quigong, Pilates, meditation, and even art are offered.

The Hideaway Spa offers a full range of services for the bride and groom, including massages, reflexology treatments, and body treatments like the spa’s signature Sugar Scrub, called Mango Indulgence.

On Tuesday afternoons, a manager’s cocktail party is held, with rum punch and hors d’oeuvres, steel pan music, and mocko-jumbies, Caribbean stilt dancers in colorful costumes. There is also nightly entertainment at The Terrace.

Guests receive a weekly schedule of activities and entertainment on The Terrace. There are nature and history walks, snorkeling trips, and tennis clinics.

An on-site shopping arcade features resort wear, gifts, and sundries. A shuttle into nearby Christiansted for shopping or dining is provided. Boating excursions and sunset cruises can also be arranged.
