A human adventure in the heart of nature
During your stay in the American Virgin Islands, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, you'll marvel at the majesty of the landscape. Experience a human adventure, with the scent of the tropics and the air of the sea. This 342 km2 archipelago comprises three main islands: St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix. The territory was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, who named them "Saint Ursula and the Eleven Thousand Virgins". During the colonial years, it was the object of much covetousness, including from the Danes, who planted sugar cane. In the early 20th century, the Americans thought of buying the islands back from Denmark, much to the delight of the local population. Today, the islands are renowned for their magnificent white sandy beaches and marinas. In fact, the islands' main activity is tourism, which currently attracts two million visitors every year, thanks in particular to boat cruises.

All of the archipelago's virgin islands are hemmed in by heavenly beaches and brimming with historic sites and monuments inherited from a colonial past. Indeed, on the island of St. Thomas lies "Charlotte Amalie", the capital, best known for its welcoming lanes and colorful buildings. Among the island's most emblematic landmarks are the many monuments that tell the story of the islands' history, such as Fort Christian, which houses the Museum of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
On this island, you'll find the famous Old Stone Farmhouse, a renowned restaurant where you'll have the opportunity to taste local specialties with quality cooking and seasoning. West Indian recipes are based on grilled fish and seafood. On the other side, on the island of St. John to the east, the sublime beaches of Trunk Bay await you, on the condition that bathing suits are worn exclusively for swimming. And while you're at it, why not enjoy a good hike through the vast rainforest via the Reef Bay Hike trail? This is part of the Virgin Islands National Park and its magnificent iguanas. As you head south, you'll come across the island of St. Croix, once a sugarcane plantation area. The ramparts and buildings of Frederiksted and Christiansted Forts are reminiscent of the architecture of the colonial era, particularly the Danish style. But this impressive island is also ideal for scuba diving, with the famous Buck Island reefs. If you'd like to do a little shopping and visit a couple of art galleries along the way, take a stroll down Strand Street, the main thoroughfare running along the Waterfront. It's also where the evenings come alive, to the delight of tourists and night owls alike. As night falls, Caribbean music such as reggae and bachata set the pace in the bars.
Like many Caribbean islands and islets, the climate of the U.S. Virgin Islands is ideal for seaside vacations, scuba diving and hiking. Temperatures range from 20°C to 30°C, cooled by the trade winds. Given that it rains between April and August, the ideal period for your stopover is from December to April. If, however, you don't want to miss the festival season, when you can flirt with island folklore and dance the salsa, be there in April. It's around this time that hotel prices drop and accommodation bookings are unlikely to be saturated. In any case, book your ticket in advance and have a good trip!
