The US Virgin Islands consist of Saint Thomas, Saint John and Saint Croix. Of these, Saint John is my pick for the best Caribbean island if you don\u2019t have a passport. At over 90% national parkland, Saint John is easily accessed by boat or ferry from Charlotte Amelie in nearby Saint Thomas. It is home to some of the top-rated beaches in the world, including the outstanding Trunk Bay, as well as world-class snorkeling at the Virgin Island Coral Reef Monument. Even though you don\u2019t need a passport to access it, Saint John will feel like a literal world away for US travelers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Destinations<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Saint John<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint Thomas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint Croix<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accommodations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the ultimate in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentalescapes.com\/rentals\/luxury-villa-rentals-caribbean\/usvi\/st-john?checkin=&amp;checkout=&amp;min_budget=&amp;max_budget=&amp;sleeps=2&amp;rooms=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint John villa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> luxury, check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentalescapes.com\/rentals\/luxury-villa-rentals-caribbean\/usvi\/st-john\/fish-bay\/eco-serendib-villa-amp-spa-26841\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eco Serendib Villa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

With fantastic nightlife and a vibrant culture, though, it will be easy to make friends whenever you wish as well.

While each island has its own unique history to explore, St Kitts &amp; Nevis are real standouts. The Brimstone Hill Fortress in St Kitts dates back to 1690 and is now a national park, and the island also has a scenic railway adapted from the 1630s Wingfield Estate. Historic Charlestown in Nevis, meanwhile, is considered one of the most beautiful Caribbean capitals, and features historic sites, Georgian architecture and the Alexander Hamilton Museum.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Destinations<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>St. Kitts &amp; Nevis<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jamaica<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint Martin\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accommodations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentalescapes.com\/rentals\/luxury-villa-rentals-caribbean\/st-kitts-and-nevis\/nevis\/four-seasonsresort-nevis\/vista-de-nevis-124514\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vista de Nevis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a cultural experience all its own.\u00a0 It features classic Caribbean styling, as well as Caribbean art and island artifacts all throughout the villa.
