The overlook is located atop St. Peter Mountain–the island’s highest point–and has a vista of Magens Bay. See if you can recognize where Villa Pallina is from this viewpoint! Mountain Top is also a good place to purchase souvenirs, clothes, and other gift items and famous for its signature drink, the banana daiquiri, which is made with a variety of flavors of local Cruzan Rum.

One of the most distinguishable landmarks in St. Thomas. The staircase is one of several ‘step-streets’ originally built by the Danes to solve the problem of getting around the Charlotte Amalie’s hilly terrain. The bricks of the steps were brought from Denmark as ballasts in the holds of trade ships. Visitors who walk to the top (actually 103 steps) will find themselves near the foot of more stairs leading to Blackbeard’s Castle, one of the island’s three National Historic Landmarks.

St Thomas Beaches

Less than 5 minutes from the villa, Magens Bay is one of the most popular and picturesque beaches in USVI. The peninsulas protect the shore from erosion and big waves which makes the calm waters an ideal spot for swimmers. This beach has an entry fee, which is used to maintain the facilities. Magens Bay is particularly beautiful because of the rolling mountains that seem to unfurl right down to the beach, but can get crowded as it is a popular stop.

여행 팁

관습과 문화

LOCAL COMMON COURTESIES

A long standing tradition in the Virgin Islands is to always start a conversation with “Good Morning”, “Good Afternoon”, “Good Day", or “Good Night/Evening” or the response from locals may be aloof and unresponsive. If you start the conversation right, most locals are friendly and enjoy interacting with visitors! Virgin Islanders are historically conservative, so it is seen as disrespectful when visitors walk around in swimwear or without shirts if not on the beach or poolside. Please be respectful and wear shirts and/or beach cover ups unless you’re at the beach or pool.
