Welcome to Caneel Bay

“Disconnect to reconnect” is Caneel Bay’s motto, and every aspect of this top-of-the-line resort is geared toward ensuring a rejuvenating experience.

The hotel prides itself on having no TVs and no phones in the room, although Internet access is available. Yet who needs the outside world when this 170-acre seaside resort on St. John, created by John D. Rockefeller’s grandson, Laurance, has seven beaches, 11 tennis courts, a fitness center, a pool, and pathways and stretches of green perfect for leisurely strolls?

The emphasis may be on natural living, but every aspect of the accommodations, grounds, and on-site restaurants epitomizes luxury.

The service is personal and top-notch, and a stay at Caneel Bay includes friendly touches like a complimentary bottle of rum, fresh flowers in the bathroom, and afternoon tea.

The resort’s unique Self Centre offers mind/body treatments designed with relaxation in mind.

Caneel Bay also provides guests with free ferry service to and from St. Thomas. Caneel Bay’s dedication to nature goes beyond its lush grounds and its tasteful architecture, designed to blend in with its surroundings. Don’t be surprised if you spot a few wild donkeys strolling around on the grounds.
