Sunsets glow over the ocean and neighboring St. Thomas rises from the sea—as seen from the patio of this Mediterranean-inspired villa on St. John. It’s part of a clutch of villas set above Cruz Bay like an Italian hilltop village, and shares a clubhouse, fitness center, and pool with them. Drive or take a taxi down to more dining and shopping choices in central Cruz Bay.

Stone gates at the entrance give the feeling of sweeping up to a European country estate, but once you reach the house, the views are all Caribbean. Watch sailboats in the harbor below from a lounger by the private swimming pool—or better yet, from a float in the pool. As the sun sinks lower, heat up the barbecue for dinner at the alfresco table.

Even the great room offers a place to bask in the sun, thanks to a wall of windows that dapples the sitting area with light. A short set of stairs separates the living room from a dining area for 6 brightened by seashell art and a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar.

The villa is a short walk from the shared fitness center, pool, and clubhouse at The Hills, so it’s easy to fit in a workout or stop for a glass of wine at the clubhouse bistro. Find shops, restaurants, activities, and ferry docks in Cruz Bay, the island’s main town, or find your bliss on one of the pristine beaches within a short drive.
