Art-Music Nightlife

St. Thomas has the best nightlife in the Virgin Islands! Many bars and clubs play a mixture of popular Caribbean music and American hits.

In Havensight has many bars and restaurants, often with all kinds of music playing, live bands, TV's for watching sports, pool tables.

Charlotte Amalie, along the waterfront area you will find some great bars and restaurants. It is not a good idea to walk in downtown Charlotte Amalie at night outside of the popular restaurant/bar area. The restaurants and bars are in walking distance from each other.

Frenchtown, just outside of Charlotte Amalie, is another good place to go out at night. There are several amazing restaurants and a few bars in that area.

Most of the resorts and hotels offer all kinds of nightlife; including bars, pool tables, restaurants and karaoke and live music . Some offer casual night activities like beach volleyball and Caribbean shows complete with calypso singers.

Ask for information at any hotel reception desk.Most of the resorts and hotels offer all kinds of nightlife; including bars, pool tables, restaurants and karaoke and live music . Some offer casual night activities like beach volleyball and Caribbean shows complete with calypso singers. Ask for information at any hotel reception desk. Try heading to Red Hook if your looking for a semi-block party island style. Dinner and drinks at one spot and then head over to another bar or restaurant to listen to music or maybe a live band. Red Hook has several great spots that are all in walking distance which makes bar hopping allot eaiser.

St. John Beach Guide

You have got to do St. John. You hear that from everyone who has visited the Island and from those who live here. But, what does it mean to do St. John? Well, there are the wonderful hiking trails that meander through the island that can take you from the "bustling" town of Cruz Bay to secluded beaches and pristine Caribbean forests. How about touring the island on a two-hour tour of the National Park or just go shopping in Cruz Bay? And don't forget the plethora of beaches.

St. John Weddings / Romance

DID YOU KNOW THAT... Many couples are opting to save the money (not to mention the stress and hard work) of a big wedding at home by escaping to a Caribbean island for a combination wedding/honeymoon. Upon their return, they can share the event by showing the video and photographs at an informal reception.

All the islands are beautiful and, on some, weddings have become a major promotional tool. So why should you choose St. Thomas above others?
