Overview
St. Thomas is the most cosmopolitan of the US Virgin Islands, combining stunning Caribbean scenery with the convenience of traveling domestically -- no passport required for US citizens. The island is famous for its deep natural harbor at Charlotte Amalie, world-class duty-free shopping, and the consistently top-ranked Magens Bay beach.
For points travelers, the star property is The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas, which completed a massive $100 million renovation. At 60,000 Marriott points per night versus $900+ cash rates, it represents one of the best luxury Caribbean redemptions.
Beyond the resorts, St. Thomas is a hub for island-hopping to St. John (Virgin Islands National Park), duty-free shopping in Charlotte Amalie, and some of the Caribbean's best diving and sailing.
