St. John’s vibrant main town and port, Cruz Bay is home to most of the 28-square-mile island’s restaurants, bars, stores and dive centers. Two-thirds of affluent St. John is a national park, and many safari buses and jeeps set out from Cruz Bay. Don’t miss local art and history at Elaine Ione Sprauve Museum or the pristine sand of Hawksnest Bay, popular with snorkelers due to its nearby reef. There is no airport; ferries connect the town of 2750 with other U.S. and British Virgin Islands.

Organic Lux Spa located in Cruz Bay St. John USVI. Includes massage, custom Facials, & Nails. We are located right before the Westin in Palm Plaza on the right handside.
I came to VI Body Spa for a mani/pedi - Leah was terrific and after a week, the manicure is still gorgeous! While I was there, I met Samantha and loved her energy, so I booked an hour massage with her. It was the best massage I have ever had- and I have had a lot of them! After the massage, she taught me some stretches to help with my chronic pain issues. The salon is very clean- the lights and the music are soothing, and I was very comfortable there! You do HAVE to make an appointment, due to Covid. Go - you won’t be sorry!

This parish is my absolute favorite. The staff, the choir, the Deacons, and the amazing Father Anthony make this so joyful.

Focusing on Kinesiology, Myofascial, Lymphatic Drainage, Sports Therapy and Hot Stones. Helps to reduce the toxins which is " Lactid Acid" with in the muscles. Kinesiology is the study of movement. Pin pointing the area of tension while activating the muscle will help decrease pain. Myofascial is the saran wrap around your muscles. Using a pulling action helps unstick adhesions. Lymphatic drainage increases lymph flow. Which helps with fluid thats above the muscle. Moving the fluid will help loosen scar tissue, bruising with pre and post surgery, edema and believe it or not it helps with anti aging! Sports therapy has a lot todo with stretching, like yoga. Hot Stones help with relaxing the muscles. Loosening of the muscle fibers with heat helps to penetrate the deeper muscles FASTER... We can join you at your house or you come on by The Market Place.
Meagan is a talented therapist who combined deep tissue with table Thai massage techniques to relieve some pesky issues that were nagging me for months! You can’t go wrong.

My wife and I were in town for a week with friends and went there have a bottle of wine alone for a date night. The hostess seated us quickly and had a few recommendations and Paul was able to answer our questions regarding wine selection. Even though the COVID restrictions were still in place limiting the seating, we were able to get a table and order a bottle and charcuterie plate fairly quickly. The wine was great and the truffle salami was incredible. Highly recommend.

Every year when we visit St John we make sure to stop at the Pink Papaya! We collect the coconuts that are hand painted to look like fish. This is my favorite souvenir that we ship home to hang in our porch! Linda the owner is wonderful and she has a variety of gifts from unique jewelry to great signs about St. John!!

Has expanded over the last year and becoming more upscale, even with an area to taste some cheese and crackers. Since the liquor store across the hall from here closed, they have stocked all the wines, beers and hard liquors that you need. There meats are very good, as is the bakery and the produce. The prices are higher than at some of the other groceries but they (for the first time in my 10+ years of shopping there) are now clearly marked. You will pay 2-4 times more that you would pay in New England for most items but picking store brands and looking for sale items will ease the pain somewhat. Junk food (soda, crackers, chips, cookies) are sky high but sticking with the basics will also help with the final bill.

Situated on the beach front of St. John at Wharfside Village, we are the perfect spot to sit down and relax, watch some sports on TV and maybe try your luck on our VLT machines.
Stopped in for 30 minutes to get out of the heat and play some video poker. the place we clean and in good order. Had fun. Clean restrooms and a nice bar.
