Chelsea - Castle at Cabrita

When traveling to the USVI, the pristine white sand beaches and turquoise water must be somewhere on your list of reasons to visit!! With so many recommendations for the “Best Beach” it can be hard to choose which one to see with the little time you have on the island!! Below are just a few of our top beaches to be sure to visit while staying at Castle at Cabrita

1) Magens Bay- It’s no wonder that this beach shows up on our list as it does in many others! Consistently votes as one of the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, it is a must-see! We love Magens for its expansive white sand, convenient parking, and bar area to replenish all your cocktail needs on the beach!! Beach chair rentals, paddle board rentals, and a concession area makes this for a truly relaxing beach!

2) Secret Harbor- This is an east-side gem! Not well known, Secret Harbor is a small, lovely beach nestled in a quiet, protected bay. The water is usually very calm; perfect for swimming. Great snorkeling can be found along the rocky coastline on the right side. When you are done in the water, you can venture to the bar for lunch and beverages while relaxing in the sun!

3) Brewers Bay Beach- this is one of the calmest beaches on St. Thomas, and the water is clear as crystal. It is a favorite for Green Sea Turtles and Hawksbill Turtles. We challenge you to go for a snorkel and NOT find a sea turtle! Amenities include a nice public bathhouse with flush toilets and outdoor showers. There are roadside food vans for an authentic island experience! Though this beach is further from Castle at Cabrita, it truly is worth a trip!!

4) Stumpy bay Beach- This truly is a private beach that very few venture to!! You WILL need a 4×4 car to venture down to this beach. The road there is a true adventure and will be worth it! One of our favorite sea shell collecting beaches, it features beautiful rocks you can explore beyond the beach! For snorkelers, there is a drop-off about 50 yards from the sand where you can see the most extravagant sea life!! This truly is a beach that you will be talking about well after your trip because it is more than just a beach; it is an experience!

When renting Castle at Cabrita you will be provided comfortable beach chairs and towels to take to any beach you wish to explore! With beaches on the surrounding islands such as St. John, Water Island, and the BVI’s we know that you will not run out of beautiful sun and sand to enjoy during your vacation! Your villa hosts, Chelsea and Connor, are always here to help suggest various stops for you to enjoy while staying at the villa!

You can find luxury resorts across the USVI, so why stay in a villa, not one of these five-star resorts? Some of the reasons may surprise you! Castle at Cabrita overlooks Great Bay Harbor, the same bay you would enjoy gazing out at from the high-class Ritz Carlton of St. Thomas Resort. See why staying at a Castle at Cabrita may make more sense for your next luxury vacation than staying at your favorite resort!

1. Space and privacy

Though in a luxury resort, you have accessibility to all amenities they offer, you are in no way alone in enjoying your relaxing holiday. Whether it is a child screaming, another guest’s music, or any other distraction, it is easy to realize you are using a shared space. When renting a luxury villa like Castle at Cabrita, you have the entire property solely to yourself!! Enjoy peace and quiet throughout your rental knowing all amenities are just for you to enjoy exactly how you want to enjoy them! Enjoy the utmost privacy at Castle at Cabrita without anyone being able to see into your room, bathroom, or pool lounging!

2. Cost

Looking at the upfront cost of a luxury villa may make your eyes roll, but when you compare the two, the prices favor the villa! Renting a small one-bedroom room at a five-star resort on St. Thomas can cost upwards of $1,000 a night. With Castle at Cabrita’s 10-person accommodation, each couple would only be paying $650 and have an entire villa to themselves with premium privacy and the same level of luxury!!

3. Personalized touch

At Castle at Cabrita you are not just another guest to us. Your and your party’s satisfaction is our primary goal while you are here! With only one villa and one party to attend to at a time means you get our undivided attention! No need to call an unfamiliar concierge or be bounced from person to person to book an outing. At Castle at Cabrita, the same people you have interacted with since day one will take care of you during your stay! This personalized attention truly sets us apart because there is no booking agency to go through or times on hold. Connect directly with your villa hosts with any issues or need of assistance, and it will be handled immediately to ensure you can focus on your vacation!

4. Enjoy the same restaurants and excursions.

Just because you are staying at a Villa does not mean you cannot enjoy local resorts!! Our close neighbor, The Ritz Carlton, has unique excursions such as sunset sails, day charters, watersports rentals, and excellent restaurants you can still utilize! Enjoy the flexibility to see so much more than just the restaurants offered at a resort as well with driver services bookable through the villa to explore the culinary delight that St. Thomas can offer!!

With so many reasons to enjoy making memories with your chosen friends or family, why not make it a vacation to remember by staying at Castle at Cabrita. Your satisfaction is our goal, and we strive to ensure that you leave your stay with the best memories of a lifetime!
