Caneel Bay

Caneel Bay is a special place--a truly unique experience in restrained yet fine living. There are no televisions, telephones, or otherwise digital distractions at this low-key luxury property, located within the protected grounds of the Virgin Islands National Park on the island of St. John. What you'll find is 170 acres of lush landscape, including seven secluded white-sand beaches. Wildlife in the sea is abundant (turtles, stingrays, and tropical fish abound), as well as on land (wild donkeys have free range of the property!). The simply furnished and elegant accommodations casually blend in at this serene hideaway that Laurence Rockefeller founded more than 50 years ago. Visit caneelbay.com.
