Welcome to the U.S. Virgin Islands. On behalf of the Department of Tourism, it is my pleasure to greet you and thank you for choosing our destination. Whether you are here for business or leisure, we are honored to share our home with you.

In the U.S. Virgin Islands, each island offers a distinct experience, united by a vibrant culture, rich history, and a deep commitment to preserving what makes our destination truly special. From the rhythmic energy of St. Thomas to the natural serenity of St. John, the cultural depth of St. Croix, and the quiet charm of Water Island, there is something here for every traveler to discover and enjoy.

St. Thomas

St. Thomas, our gateway and capital district, blends cosmopolitan flair with Caribbean warmth. From world-class shopping and dining to some of the most breathtaking views in the region, it offers an exciting and dynamic experience for visitors.

St. John

St. John invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. With much of the island protected as a national park, it stands as a testament to our commitment to sustainability and conservation, offering pristine beaches, scenic trails, and a truly immersive natural escape.

St. Croix

St. Croix, our largest island, is rich in heritage and authenticity. Its historic towns, vibrant arts scene, and diverse culinary offerings reflect the soul of our people, while its waters provide endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.

Water Island

Just minutes away, Water Island offers a more intimate experience—quiet, welcoming, and effortlessly relaxing—perfect for those seeking simplicity and calm.

Together, our islands tell a story of resilience, culture, and pride. We encourage you to explore, connect, and experience all that we have to offer. With convenient access between islands, discovering the full breadth of the U.S. Virgin Islands is both seamless and rewarding.
