Concierge.com's insider take:
Wondering where to find those idyllic Caribbean beaches with gin-clear water and sand as white as sugar? Caneel Bay has seven of them right on its 170-acre property. Laurance Rockefeller founded this serene hideaway over 50 years ago as a low-key luxe resort aimed at guests who wanted to stay within the boundaries of the Virgin Islands National Park. It still doesn't have room phones or TVs (instead of a wake-up call, guests can request a wake-up knock); however, you'll be doing anything but roughing it in the 166 guest rooms, outfitted in soothing shades of green with streamlined midcentury modern furniture and private patios or balconies. A-listers seeking to escape the paparazzi's glare (including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt) often book cottage 7, which was Rockefeller's private beach house. Even more history-steeped is the Equator restaurant, which sits atop an 18th-century sugar mill overlooking the distant lights of St. Thomas. Guests arrive by private ferry from Charlotte Amalie and have unlimited use of Sunfish sailboats, kayaks, and snorkeling gear. Other amenities include free continental breakfast, 11 tennis courts, and the Self Center, which offers holistic treatments and yoga classes overlooking Honeymoon Beach.
