Your view - from every room - is spectacular
LOCATION. This is an exceptionally private, romantic and picturesque spot high atop the hill that towers over Reef Bay. The magnificent 320 degree views are one of the finest examples of a pristine coastal landscape to be found anywhere in the Virgin Islands. The views include virgin rain forests and Bordeaux Mountain to the north, the "Big Sur" like shoreline of the National Park, from Reef Bay to Lameshur Bay to Ram Head in the east, miles of blue Caribbean and distant St. Croix to the southeast, Ditliff Point, Hart Bay, Dog Rocks, Little and Great St. James, St. Thomas and winter sunsets in the southwest, and a lovely view from your pool. Below you lay the usually deserted, white sand beach at Reef Bay, St. John's most virgin National Park beach where sea turtles still lay their eggs and snorkeling, swimming and beach walks are private and inviting. A one mile hike along the shore - easiest at low tide - brings you to a second beach at the head of Reef Bay while other trails take you on more challenging hikes through the National Park to Lameshur Bay, Bordeaux Mountain or Ram Head. It's a 4 mile drive to Cruz Bay, on what is called (on St. John) a paved road. The road from Cruz Bay dead ends at Reef Bay and very few tourists wander out to this wonderful and still secluded location.
