Sold out - thanks adventurers!
Escape to the Virgin Islands with MYA on an extraordinary adventure to gorgeous St. John, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. This will be our second visit and we know for certain that there will be awesome island explorations!
Adventurers will stay at a lush hillside villa enjoying the vistas of foliage, sea and sky. Daily visitations of iguanas, lizards, and birds are sure to delight. The possibilities are endless with playtime at the beaches, hiking, delicious vegetarian meals, deck lounging & pool dipping, giving back as island volunteers, plenty of yoga and more…
A ferry will take adventurers over to St. John (flights are into St Thomas) and MYA will arrange a 4-wheel drive pick up to whisk you off to our super fab accommodations.
A national park occupies more than half the island with its forests full of resident and migratory birds, including cuckoos, warblers and hummingbirds. The beaches are pristine and spectacular! Ancient jungles ruins are throughout the landscape. Dolphins inhabit the island’s waters, which also host hawksbill and green turtles. The mangroves at Hurricane Hole in the east support corals, anemones, and a large variety of colorful fish.
The adventure villa is on the south shore in a quiet nature-filled neighborhood on Boatman Bay, a ten minute drive from the harbor. Owned by famous American Pop culture artist, Peter Max, the space is designed for both privacy and communal gatherings.
The coral stone deck is expansive with a pool, lounge chairs, and dining area, of course, the views are jaw dropping! The sunrise is spectacular, you can watch the magic from the comfort of your bed. All will enjoy dramatic clear turquoise reefs below, pristine National Park coastline, and crisp horizon views of the vast blue sea, sunsets and starry skies. The evening becomes a sweet time for a glass of wine and a soak in the hot tub, one of MYA’s fav amenities. The star gazing is terrific, our villa is very private without close by neighbors flooding the sky with light.
The lovely bedrooms have an en-suite bath and shower, sliding glass doors, and individual A/C units in each. Two of the bedrooms have an extra full-sized twin in the room, great for adventurers that don’t mind sharing space.
All of the breakfasts are covered by MYA, we’ll have five vegetarian dinners at the house and two out on the town so that we can take in the local experience. Anna Olsen will be our amazing talented cook! Lunches are up to adventurers, either leftovers or stopping in town. The MYA offerings will be vegetarian and any and all food allergies/preferences will be honored.
Adventurers will be hiking, snorkeling (equipment is rentable if you don’t have your own), paddleboarding (another rentable item), swimming, and enjoying yoga at least once a day. We may get in some guided tours as well such as a leisurely kayak and snorkel adventure through the mangroves; an amazing tour and MYA highly recommends it! In villa massage and spa treatments will also be an option for adventurers as an add on. Sunset charters, a mermaid experience (put on a fancy tail and pose for pics!), and a private dj are some other offerings :) We may plan a day trip to Puerto Rico and book a salsa lesson!
This time around, MYA will be offering up some of our time to the locals with a volunteer component added to our adventure. Adventurers can walk dogs at the animal shelter, help care for island animals such as horses, donkeys and goats at the animal sanctuary, and/or help with a clean-up or maintenance project at the Virgin Islands National Park.
