The Best Honeymoon Resorts
Many hotels in the Virgin Islands will help plan
your wedding, doing everything from arranging the flowers and the photographer to applying
for the marriage license. Even you don't actually tie the knot here, the Virgin Islands
offer some of the world's most romantic destinations for honeymooning couples.
Elysian Beach Resort (St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; tel.
800/753-2554 or 340/775-1000): For a great value, ask about the "Honeymoon
Get-Away" package, which includes a deluxe room or a one-bedroom suite, champagne on
arrival, and free use of the tennis courts, fitness center, freshwater pool, and Jacuzzi.
The Buccaneer (St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; tel. 800/255-3881
or 340/773-2100): This resort boasts the most extensive facilities on St. Croix, including
an 18-hole golf course, eight championship tennis courts, a spa and fitness center, a
2-mile jogging trail, and three beaches. The 1653 sugar mill on the grounds is the most
popular wedding spot on the island. We recommend staying in one of the beachside rooms
with fieldstone terraces that take you right down to the water.
Little Dix Bay (Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands; tel. 800/928-3000
or 284/495-5555): The understated elegance of this luxury resort is popular with older
couples and honeymooners alike--in fact, the powerfully amorous atmosphere sometimes makes
single guests feel like wallflowers. Spread out over 500 acres on a secluded bay, this
resort offers beautiful beaches and sporting activities galore, or plenty of privacy, if
that's what you're after.
Biras Creek Estate (Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands;
tel. 800/608-9661 or 284/494-3555): This private and elegant hotel is located on a
secluded 150-acre promontory, reached only by launch. Sign-posted nature trails cut
through its lush tropical gardens
