The brand
Little Gem ResortsPrivate cay beach club
A solar-powered private cay hideaway where breezy treehouses overlook coral reefs and day guests gather around the saltwater infinity pool.

What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
It’s unpretentiously stylish, tastefully luxe, and perfectly laid-back, and showcases a wild side of the Caribbean that’s increasingly hard to find.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Regular resort ferries make the ten-minute crossing to Cruz Bay's harbor bars and the protected hiking trails of Virgin Islands National Park.
The rooms
Freestanding treehouses and canvas glamping tents feature unfinished cumaru wood, spacious outdoor showers, and expansive decks facing the Caribbean Sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 70-foot saltwater infinity pool looks across the channel toward St. John, lined with sunloungers and private cabanas.
Waterfront Restaurant
Open-air tables sit along the water beneath sea grape trees, serving fresh Caribbean seafood and lobster schnitzel.
How it began
Developed sustainably by the Snider family, this private cay retreat is the first ground-up resort built in the territory in three decades.
