Welcome to the U.S. Virgin Islands!
A territory of the USA since 1917, the U.S. Virgin Islands is an exotic group of islands located in the Caribbean Sea, comprised of three principal Islands – St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas – plus 50 smaller islands, cays, and inlets, that are part of the Caribbean archipelago.
The dreamy land and seascapes have earned it the nickname “America’s Paradise.” Here the weather is almost always beach perfect. The islands are famous for their beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise waters. The U.S. Virgin Islands has a rich cultural legacy with a tapestry of West Indian, African,, European, and American influences. The flags of seven different nations have flown over these islands, leaving their distinct imprint on the people, history, culture, architecture, art, music, and cuisine.
