An idyllic Caribbean escape with a stunning tropical backdrop

Perched on an elevated peninsula overlooking Charlotte Amalie Harbor on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other, The Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman’s Reef is part of a $425 million rebuild and upgrade of the 17-acre resort property, which had been ravaged by two hurricanes. The goal was to create a world-class resort experience focused on wellbeing and become the new standard for wellness travel in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Inspired by the vibrant diversity of life above and below the waves, the re-imagined resort offers a harmonious blend of amenities and experiences for leisure-seekers and adventurers alike.

Experience a haven of natural splendor and tranquility.

A sanctuary for wellness, self-care and relaxation

The Westin flagship hotel, spread among the resort’s multiple buildings, features a full complement of amenities. The hotel provides 392 guestrooms, including 28 suites, a Heavenly Spa and fitness studio, five restaurants and lounges, three ocean-view pools with swim-up bar and cabanas, a Kid’s Club, adventure beach, retail outlets, and outdoor pickleball courts. The resort has over 72,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting and event space, including the Palm Court for beachside gatherings. The hotel’s panoramic views reveal the spectrum of blue that captivates the senses and creates a haven of natural splendor and tranquility.
