PAID CONTENT FOR SAND CASTLE ON THE BEACH
Sand Castle on the Beach ST CROIX, US VIRGIN ISLANDS
Imagine the most pristine sandy beach, stunning turquoise water and warmest hospitality you can find, and you could be picturing the Caribbean island of St Croix. The beautiful island also has a rich culture and historic architecture, having previously flown seven different flags — Spain, Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, the Knights of Malta, Denmark and the US. Nicknamed ‘Twin City’ for its two towns, Christiansted on the north and Frederiksted on the west, St Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands. Located on Dorsch Beach just outside of the
historic town of Frederiksted, Sand Castle on the Beach is a laid-back beachfront boutique hotel offering 26 rooms, including beachfront villas, sea- view suites and the exclusive two-bedroom Dolphin Villa. Guests can spend the day basking under the warm sun, lounging under umbrellas and enjoying refreshing cocktails and mocktails. The hotel’s open-air seaside terrace restaurant offers seasonal fare, traditional favourites and local specialities. The beautiful terrace is the perfect setting for a languid brunch while taking in the stunning ocean
views. Unwind with a fresh mimosa in hand at a table surrounded by your friends, the shimmering ocean just steps away, or take a dip in one of the two freshwater pools on offer. Particularly adventurous guests can experience the freedom of the clothing- optional swimming pool, located in a secluded area of the resort. A visit isn’t complete without meeting the owners
of Sand Castle on the Beach. Chris Richardson and Ted Bedwell are the heart and soul of the hotel and welcome visitors like long-lost friends. Acquiring the property in 2017, the duo transformed the mid- century jewel into a haven for travellers searching for serenity in a warm and inclusive environment. For those with an adventurous spirit, snorkel the
depths of the crystal-clear waters, paddle kayaks along the sandy shores and hike the beautiful wilderness of the island’s rainforest. Nature-lovers will appreciate that Sand Castle on the Beach is located less than a mile from Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, a crucial nesting habitat for endangered leatherback and hawksbill sea turtles as well the threatened green turtles.
