Overview

This exclusive resort is a sophisticated and rejuvenating escape in the U.S. Virgin Islands that once served as the private hideaway of Laurence Rockefeller.

Caneel Bay, a Rosewood Resort, is nestled on a peninsula within the hills of the Virgin Island’s National Park, on the island of St. John.

Accommodation: 166 Guest Rooms

Accommodation

Nestled within Caneel’s lush grounds are 166 charming guest rooms that feature truly inspiring views. Each intimate retreat has been thoughtfully decorated with natural woods, native stone, hand-crafted furniture and richly woven fabrics.

Located in what was Laurance Rockefeller’s private estate house, Cottage 7 is a collection of oversized accommodations which offer the most dramatic rooms and patios available, as well as breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. The last word in tropical luxury.

Restaurants & Bars

Relax with a cocktail on the Verandah before enjoying a romantic dinner at Caneel’s most elegant restaurant, the Turtle Bay Estate House. Perched high on a panoramic peninsula, Turtle Bay offers an inspired menu of classical and creative American cuisine served against a backdrop of ethereal beauty.

Breakfast and lunch buffets are also served in high season at Turtle Bay, while afternoon tea is also served on the Verandah.

(Days and hours of operation of the resort's dining venues vary according to season).

Recreation

Most visitors find Caneel's seven beautiful beaches and complimentary non-motorised water sports very difficult to ignore, although equally appealing are its 11 tennis courts, fitness centre, hiking trails and unique Self Centre, offering Ayurvedic lifestyle consultations and personal fitness sessions.

Sailing trips, fishing charters and scuba diving can also be arranged.

Children

The resort's Caribbean family packages and programmes make planning a family holiday easy.

For children, a holiday means being active, making friends and learning new skills. For parents, it's knowing your child is in safe hands with experienced and caring staff. At Turtle Town, Caneel's children's centre for kids aged 3 to 12 years old, creative arts and crafts, an array of exciting activities and themed days ensure that children will leave with precious memories and souvenirs of their Caribbean family holiday.
