Accommodations on Jost Van Dyke

Where to Stay

Stay over in what is the true lap of exotic luxury - Jost Van Dyke is everything you ever asked for in a fine lodging destination.

Accommodation: the starry lamplight of the night sky and the warm soft mattress make from white sand. Morning baths in the cool turquoise water and quilted bedding from palm fronds - ah, the glorious life of an island savage!

Oh, what? You don't want to sleep on the beach? Okay, I guess. Yeah, sure - there are some places to stay here. Not too many, but enough. I just thought... anyway. Here we go:

Jost Van Dyke Hotels

For one of the nicest hotels in the entire island of Jost Van Dyke, stay for a week at the Sandy Ground Estates (and it is nice, despite the fact that there's nothing much to compare it to). Aptly named, these waterfront apartments hug the thin white coast and offer amazing views out to sea. The other fascinating component of this hotel is that parts of it actually extend over a cliff, giving a bizarre and treacherously Dr. Seuss kind of feel to the place that some people just go bananas for. Call (284) 494-3391 to book your reservations at this superb lodging destination on the island of Jost Van Dyke.

Another awesome place to stay while spending your tropical vacation at Jost Van Dyke would be the Sandcastle Hotel. And we probably couldn't think of a better name for this hotel, even if we tried. That's because there it really is a sandcastle of seclusion and tranquility, taking perfectly after the theme of this joyous island. With six bungalows perched upon a point over which sweeping panoramas take in the jewel like necklace of Jost Van Dyke Island splendor. These accommodations will awe you with their superb convenience and comfort. Spacious and delicious, the furnishings in here are embellished with all the niceties of tropical arts and crafts - basically everything Caribbean that you can imagine is placed elegantly and non-obtrusively throughout the expanse of the accommodations here, ensuring that charm is effectively embraced.

It's like having a lei thrown over your neck when you go to Hawaii - the exact same thing. Located right up against the picturesque White Bay, the fantastic Sandcastle hotel can be reached by calling (284) 495-9888 for any eager tourist looking for a great hotel experience.

Camping on Jost Van Dyke

But if you are really onboard for what we feel is by far one of the most exciting and romantic lodging options on the entire island of St. John, then head on over to the fantastic White Bay Campground.

Truly one of the best places to delight in this 'sleeping under the stars' kind of pleasure the White Bay Campground will make you feel just like a kid again. Featuring the full spectrum of lodging options from bare sites to tents to full cabins, this campground has something to suit everybody's vacation needs. Now, obviously, we recommend the bare sight, with no tent, for an optimal view of the stars. Yet at the same time we also understand that also understand that whatever your pleasure is the de facto-or rather "unspoken" motto of the Caribbean - and therefore won't stop you from choosing the sleeping arrangement of your dreams.

This superb campground is warm all throughout the year. It gets busier in the winter than it does in the summer (the winter, after all, is the vacation season for the Caribbean). No matter when you come to Jost Van Dyke in order to experience sleeping under the stars, it's an excellent idea to call ahead and make reservations. Their number is (284) 495-9358, and they can be located in White Bay.
