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.
