Description

There is no better antidote to our over-stressed lives, than a serene Caribbean getaway where guests can experience a complete 'disconnect,' in natural surroundings and low-key luxury. Rosewood's Caneel Bay, an exclusive resort nestled within the 5,000-acre Virgin Islands National Park on the island of St. John, remains faithful to this vision of founder Laurance Rockefeller and to his reverence for the environment.

Ask about the "Simply Caneel" program--stay at both Caneel Bay and Little Dix Bay; it includes meals and transportation between the two resorts.

Accommodations

Nestled within Caneel’s lush grounds are 166 charming guestrooms that feature truly inspiring views. Each intimate retreat has been thoughtfully decorated with natural woods, native stone, hand-crafted furniture and richly woven fabrics. Relax as cool ocean breezes whisper through the plantation shutters and our discerning staff attends to your every need.

COURTSIDE
Located near the tennis courts and fitness center, these rooms offer views of lush tropical greenery and are a short walk to the beach.

GARDEN VIEW

Also near the tennis courts and fitness center, these slightly larger, ground-level rooms are located on a hill. They are surrounded by Caneel's beautiful foliage and fauna and are also just a stroll to the beach.

OCEAN VIEW

These rooms, near the water's edge, offer panoramic patio or balcony views of the beach and sea.

BEACH FRONT

Located directly on the pristine sands of Caneel's beaches, these rooms feature spacious balconies or patios.

PREMIUM OCEAN VIEW

Located on Cottage Point, these rooms are perched above the shoreline with unobstructed sea views.

PREMIUM BEACH FRONT

Offering the utmost in privacy, these beachfront rooms are located in single-level units and feature patios that open directly onto the finest of Caneel's beaches.

COTTAGE 7

Located in what once was Laurance Rockefeller's private estate house, this collection of five individual, oversized accommodations offers the most dramatic rooms and patios available, as well as breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea.

Dining

Turtle Bay Estate House

Succumb to the charms of the Caribbean moon while 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. Relax with a cocktail on the Verandah. Then, savor a candlelit feast in the beautifully appointed dining room. Breakfast and lunch buffets are also served in high season at Turtle Bay. Afternoon tea and evening cocktails are served on the Verandah.

The Wine Room

The Wine Room, located within the walls of an 18th-century plantation house, seats up to 10 for private dinners. A prix-fixe, seven-course menu, carefully selected to highlight selections from Caneel's wine collection, is offered. The wine list is comprised of 265 selections to complement wine tastings and pairing dinners. The Caribbean's only fully operational, temperature-controlled wine room boasts over 1,000 bottles of wine. Open for dinner all week in winter and four nights in fall, spring and summer.

Equator Restaurant

At the Equator, every evening is celebrated with passionate flair. Within the dramatic stone and coral ruins of this enchanted 18th-century sugar mill, guests enjoy an intriguing menu of eclectic cuisine while a glorious paprika sun sets over the water. The restaurant overlooks all of Caneel Bay with the dramatic lights of St. Thomas in the distance. It's specialty menu features fresh seafood and grilled meats prepared with classic and Caribbean flair.

Caneel Beach Terrace

Sumptuous lunch buffets are available at the Caneel Beach Terrace. This open-air dining room located just a few steps from the Caneel Bay shoreline, is also a popular spot for the weekly Grand Buffet. All meals feature the finest cuisine prepared with health and fitness in mind.
