St. Thomas’ New 20-Villa Luxury Hotel Is Now Taking Reservations for March 2027

The Botany is accepting bookings for stays beginning March 1, with villas overlooking Botany Bay and advance-purchase rates from $1,807 per night in our four-night search.

The newest luxury hotel in St. Thomas is taking reservations. The Botany, a 20-villa retreat on the island’s western tip, is now bookable for stays beginning March 1, 2027. We found rates from $1,807 per night, including fees, for a four-night stay in an 850-square-foot villa with a private balcony and a partial ocean view.

It’s a major addition to the luxury hotel market in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Botany sits inside the 300-acre Preserve at Botany Bay, near Sandy Bay Beach and Mermaid’s Chair, the narrow strip of sand at the island’s western end. When we first reported on The Botany, the acreage stood out as much as the villa count. Here, you can spend the morning on a coastal trail and the afternoon at the beach without leaving the preserve.

A Luxury Hotel on St. Thomas’ West End

Many of the island’s best-known luxury stays are clustered around Frenchman’s Reef and the east end. The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas looks across Great Bay toward St. John, while Buoy Haus Beach Resort puts 94 rooms alongside Morningstar Beach. The Botany gives St. Thomas a luxury hotel at the far end of the island, with room for just 20 villas and a mix of accommodations that run from king villas for two to three-bedroom residences for eight.

The Deluxe and Premium king villas both measure 850 square feet. The Premium category gets you a full ocean view from the balcony, and both categories have mobility-accessible options. The 1,400-square-foot One Bedroom Villa Suite adds a separate living area, a kitchenette and an outdoor soaking tub. The two- and three-bedroom residences each measure 1,900 square feet, with private pools available in both categories.

The hotel’s main restaurant, Ginger Thomas, takes its name from the Virgin Islands’ national flower. Breakfast there is reserved for overnight guests, and the restaurant also serves dinner. The property lists a beach bar for light lunches and cocktails, a swim-up bar at the pool and a concierge team that can arrange clifftop hikes, spa treatments and sunrise yoga. The west-end address also gives repeat visitors a different base for a day in Charlotte Amalie, where we’ve reported on the renewed waterfront.
