It’s got all of the ingredients: a beach, a beach bar, perfect water.

But what turns a beach resort into the one you never want to leave?

The legendary Bolongo Bay Beach Resort has developed that into an art form, transforming a stretch of St. Thomas shoreline into one of the Caribbean’s most lovable resorts.

There’s a vibe here that somehow transcends even the most laid-back of beach resorts — whether you’re downing one of the always-creative cocktails at Iggies or going on a snorkeling hunt for rum.

And the story continues out on the water, from the popular sunset harbor cruise (it comes with any five -night all inclusive stay) to a vast array of watersports options from paddle boards to Hobie cats to aqua tricycles.

This place just has something going on, and you need to be a part of it.

And you’ll never want to leave.
