For this winter’s island getaway, MYA has chosen tropical bliss on gorgeous St. Croix, a Caribbean Island with outstanding white sand beaches, turquoise waters, healthy coral ecosystems, and lush rainforest. Adventurers will spend seven nights in a villa surrounded by nature, enjoying daily yoga, scrumptious island eats, chill beach time, snorkeling (diving if you have the certification & gear), hiking, volunteering at a park, and more…
St. Croix is home to the Buck Island Reef National Monument, one of only three underwater national monuments in the states. Snorkelers and scuba divers can explore an underwater trail of protected coral reef, take in the native flora and fauna, and hopefully catch sight of a hawksbill turtle and brown pelican. Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge is another must visit locale, a hotspot for threatened and endangered species with the longest and most pristine beach in the Caribbean.
MYA’s accommodations for seven nights are in a private oasis, a serenity lover’s paradise. Our hillside villa is tucked away in the trees surrounded by lush landscaping, colorful tropical flowers, and banana and mango trees, creating a vibe adventurers won’t forget.
Our group will spread out into five bedrooms with beautiful views. The ceiling fans and air conditioning will keep adventurers comfortable. One of the king bedrooms with ensuite bathroom has massive windows and vaulted ceilings bringing the beauty of the island right into the room. On the second level of the home, there is another king bedroom with ensuite bath and balcony. The other three bedrooms, two king beds and one queen, are artfully decorated for luxurious sleeping experiences for friends or couples to share or solo visitors to spread out.
On the lower-level deck is the pool with plenty of lounge chairs and unbelievable views, the only reason you may need to go inside is to get something delicious from the expansive and sun-filled kitchen.
Although we don’t have hiking trails at the villa, Cane Bay is just one mile away known for its atmosphere and excellent snorkeling. When we’re not lounging at the villa or at the beach, adventurers can explore historic sites and lovely botanical gardens. There are two main towns, Christiansted and Frederiksted, that have a colonial feel with arched, shaded walkways and sorbet-colored buildings.
