The off-season in St. Thomas is the island’s best-kept secret. From May to November, the island transforms into a peaceful oasis, offering a more relaxed and intimate experience. For those seeking an escape without the crowds, this is the perfect time to visit, and Eleven Villa Blu is your ideal retreat.

Why Visit St. Thomas in the Off-Season?

1. Fewer Crowds, More Privacy
The pace on the island slows down during the off-season, making it an opportune time to experience St. Thomas like a local. Beaches are less crowded, restaurants have shorter wait times, and you can enjoy popular attractions without the usual hustle. This makes Eleven Villa Blu, with its stunning views and serene ambiance, the perfect base for a peaceful getaway.

2. Amazing Deals
Off-season often brings fantastic discounts on everything from flights to activities. At Eleven Villa Blu, you can enjoy a luxurious stay with more value for your money, whether you’re soaking in the private pool, lounging on the terrace with views of Magens Bay, or exploring the island’s hidden gems.

3. Perfect Beach Days
Despite the label “off-season,” the weather remains beautifully warm. While there may be occasional rain showers, they are brief, leaving plenty of time to enjoy St. Thomas’ best beaches, like Magens Bay and Lindquist Beach. Imagine having these gorgeous shorelines almost all to yourself!
Nature and Tranquility The lush tropical landscapes thrive during the off-season. St. Thomas becomes greener, and the sound of tropical birds and gentle breezes create a calming atmosphere. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise from the deck of Eleven Villa Blu or enjoying a sunset dinner on the terrace, the natural beauty of the island is at its most vibrant.

4. Exclusive Adventures
With fewer visitors, off-season is the best time to explore popular attractions at your own pace. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of St. John on a day trip, hike the trails around the island, or take a quiet jeep tour to discover hidden beaches and coves. All while knowing you have a comfortable, luxurious villa to return to.

Relax in Luxury at Eleven Villa Blu
Located on the north side of the island, Eleven Villa Blu offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. You’ll be close enough to enjoy all the island’s best attractions but tucked away in a serene area for a peaceful retreat. Each room in the villa is designed for ultimate comfort, with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. Plus, the villa is fully equipped with modern amenities, making it a true home away from home.

St. Thomas isn’t just known for its crystal-clear waters and stunning beaches—it’s also home to one of the most historically rich towns in the Caribbean, Charlotte Amalie. From colonial architecture to centuries-old fortresses, this vibrant port city invites you to step back in time and discover its fascinating history. And after a day of exploration, there’s no better place to unwind than at Eleven Villa Blu, your luxurious and comfortable retreat.

The History of Charlotte Amalie: A Step Back in Time

As the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie has played a central role in the region’s history for over 350 years. Originally founded by the Danish in 1671 and named after Queen Charlotte Amalie of Denmark, this town has seen pirates, traders, and colonists pass through its port, making it a treasure trove of stories waiting to be explored.

1. Fort Christian

A visit to Charlotte Amalie isn’t complete without seeing Fort Christian, the oldest standing structure in the Virgin Islands. Built between 1672 and 1680 by the Danish settlers, this historic fort once served as a military outpost and a government center. Today, it stands as a museum where you can learn about the island’s colonial past, its significance in the sugar trade, and its role in defending the island from invaders and pirates.

2. Blackbeard’s Castle

Calling all pirate enthusiasts! Legend has it that the infamous pirate Blackbeard himself used this hilltop tower as a lookout in the 18th century. While the castle has been transformed into a historic landmark, visitors can still climb the tower and enjoy sweeping views of the harbor. The surrounding gardens and Danish colonial homes add to the experience, making it a must-see for history buffs and adventure seekers alike.

3. 99 Steps

Charlotte Amalie is known for its steep, cobblestone streets, and none are more famous than the 99 Steps. Built by the Danes in the 1700s, these historic steps are made of bricks that were brought over as ballast on European ships. Climb to the top and take in panoramic views of the town and harbor, offering a perfect blend of history and natural beauty.

4. Emancipation Garden

Located in the heart of Charlotte Amalie, Emancipation Garden is a peaceful and historic park that commemorates the abolition of slavery in the Danish West Indies in 1848. The park is home to several monuments, including the Liberty Bell replica, and is a great spot to reflect on the island’s journey to freedom.

5. St. Thomas Synagogue

Another historic gem is the St. Thomas Synagogue, the second oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere. Built in 1833, the synagogue is still in use today and is famous for its sand-covered floors, which symbolize the Jewish community’s resilience and perseverance. Visitors can take a guided tour to learn about its rich history and the role it played in the island’s diverse cultural landscape.
