Hotel at a Glance: Hotel on the Cay
When it comes to vacation bragging rights, there’s nothing quite like retreating to a private Caribbean island. This historic inn is located on Protestant Cay, a 5-acre private island that’s a two-minute ferry ride from downtown Christiansted, St. Croix. While here, you can kayak, snorkel, and windsurf with rentals and lessons offered onsite. You might also catch glimpses of the hundreds of tropical birds that call Protestant Cay home.
- Unparalleled diving opportunities include specialty PADI courses, introductory dives, and lionfish hunts.
- Private beach means “you’re more likely to have an encounter with a turtle than a cruise ship passenger,” according to Latitudes magazine.
- Most rooms have a balcony that offers views of Christiansted or the Caribbean Sea.
- Don’t miss St. Croix’s world-famous Cruzan Rum Distillery, where $5 gets you an informative 20-minute tour that ends with a rum-tasting session.<p>
Saint Croix, US Virgin Islands: Historical Danish Architecture and Thriving Marine Life
Although now an American territory, the US Virgin Islands spent about 200 years under Danish rule. A handful of military forts from this era still dot the island. One of them, Fort Christiansvaern, is located about 10 minutes east of the hotel in Christiansted’s city center—a grid of cobblestone streets lined with 18th-century pastel buildings. From here, you can book a cruise to Buck Island Reef National Monument, an uninhabited island surrounded by a barrier reef of elkhorn coral. Snorkeling and diving excursions provide an up-close look at eagle rays, reef sharks, and sea turtles.
During nesting season (roughly March–July), leatherback turtles migrate to Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge and the hotel’s own beach, Pelican Cove. When the eggs hatch a couple months later, you’ll be in for a spectacular scene. According to Mullins, “All of a sudden you see thousands of little baby turtles coming out of the sand.”<p>
