✨ Overview — Special Offer Release

This St. Thomas escape is being released as a Special Offer due to limited resort availability during peak spring travel season.

Structured as a Direct Edition, this experience prioritizes flexibility and value — pairing a premium beachside resort stay with built-in airfare and transportation credits, plus a relaxed hosted welcome gathering. The rest of your time is yours to enjoy at your own pace.

Once this limited inventory is gone, this offer will not be repeated under these terms.


🏨 Where You’ll Stay

Margaritaville Vacation Club – St. Thomas
The Gateway to the U.S. Virgin Islands

Set along tranquil Water Bay at the eastern end of St. Thomas, this palm-fringed resort sits in a protected cove with sweeping views toward St. John.

When paradise is the destination, your accommodations should feel just as effortless. Tropical-inspired suites blend modern comforts with sun-washed décor and a relaxed island vibe.

After a day of adventure, unwind in spacious living areas, prepare a meal in your kitchenette or full kitchen, mix a favorite drink using the Frozen Concoction Maker®, and step onto your private balcony to enjoy island breezes and ocean views.

Why this resort elevates the offer

• Beachside cove location on Water Bay
• Views toward St. John
• Spacious, condo-style accommodations
• Resort pool, beach access & casual dining
• Easy access to Red Hook and island excursions
• Relaxed island atmosphere — not a high-rise hotel scene

During spring season, comparable resort stays alone often approach or exceed the cost of this entire package once taxes and fees are added.


🎶 The Spirit of Jimmy Buffett

This experience reflects the easygoing philosophy of Jimmy Buffett — not as a theme, but as a way of traveling.

It’s about slowing down, enjoying simple pleasures, and choosing places that invite you to stay awhile. St. Thomas — and Margaritaville Vacation Club — captures that mindset perfectly: sunshine instead of schedules, conversations instead of crowds, and moments that unfold naturally.

This trip isn’t about checking boxes.
It’s about finding your own island state of mind.


🍹 Resort Life — Island Time Included

Relax in the hot tub, sway in a hammock, or enjoy a margarita or ice-cold LandShark Lager at the 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar. Dine beachside at Margaritaville Restaurant, including the iconic cheeseburger in paradise.

As evening settles in, gather around the fire pit as the sun dips low and tropical breezes roll through — the kind of nights that make you forget what day it is.
