The island’s beaches are as beautiful as ever, and St Thomas got a big boost earlier this month with the relaunch of the Ritz-Carlton, St Thomas. But you can’t go to St Thomas without making a stop in neighboring St John, the tiny natural paradise that is perfect for either a day trip or a longer combined island-hopping vacation. If you stay longer, try a stop at the charming Estate Lindholm “tropical inn.”
