About St. Croix U.S. Virgin Island

The largest and most secluded of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Croix combines a rich cultural history with some of the most beautiful beaches and exciting aquatic activities in the Caribbean. Bathed in cool trade winds and bountiful sunshine, St. Croix's average temperature of 82° makes it an ideal vacation spot year round, whether you're trying to escape the cold, or the heat. ...America's paradise... ...beautiful beaches... Dotted with the ruins of over 100 sugar mills and estate houses, including the sprawling Rust Op Twist ruins located just minutes from Villa Greenleaf, St. Croix offers a unique view into the past, as well as the future, of the Caribbean. As a nod to local history, our villa suites have been named in honor of a few of these former estates.
Local trivia abounds.
