Try the tai chi by the pool, stroll the length of beach or just sit and savor the sunset.These three experiences alone will have you dreaming of a Sand Castle On The Beach.

But there’s much more.The property is pristine, near perfect in its snapshots of serenity.

Step past the lobby and you’re encouraged to soothe your soul.

Views of the islands most beautiful beach amidst the West Inidan style architecture – white with fuchsia trim- makes all seem right in the world.

This boutiqe resort in Frederiksted St. Croix has really fine accommodators, fabulous food, and views to match. Yet it might be its indiscernible spiritual essence, which make you want to linger longer.

A waterfront bar and restaurant, two fresh water pools and a patio punct uated with tropical plants and flowers, offers an inspired oasis.

Lovely rattan chaises welcome you to soak up the sun, read, or just daydream.

Studios, suites and villas appointed in tropical hardwoods offer a cool respite for repose. They are equipped with full kitchens, and living areas, and some durnished with a sleeper sofa.

Most rooms have a balcony or deck for outdoor lounging, and many afford a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea.

Complimentary Continental breakfast seaside, a lending library, high speed Internet in the lobby, and laundry facilities are nice extras.

Dinners beneath the stars are extraordinary, but unpretentious events. You'll find a thoughtful menu featuring fresh local foods, and wonderful wines from an Wine Spectator Award winning list.

Sand Castle is about a half mile south of sleepy Frederiksted, an historic settlement with a recently restored water front boardwalk.
