South Palm is located in the exclusive Virgin Grand Estates, which is a neighborhood of recently built, high-quality, multi million dollar vacation homes. South Palm sits at an elevation of about 290 feet with very pretty views of Great Cruz Bay, the Caribbean Sea, St. Thomas and other islands off in the distance. You’ll also enjoy colorful sunset views and the twinkling lights of St. Thomas at night. As of November of 2006, South Palm is the only house on its drive and it has no abutting neighbors. This is a very peaceful and private location with very little traffic and discreet clothing optional sunbathing. This is also a villa for sun lover's, with sun on the pool deck from early morning to sunset. It is a short drive to the restaurants and shops at the Westin Beach Resort. The many restaurants, bars, shops and other delights of the village of Cruz Bay are a 10-15 minute drive, entirely on paved roads.


Villa South Palm is a Pool Villa that has been four years in the planning and construction. South Palm is located above the Westin Beach Resort in the prestigious Virgin Grand Estates. At South Palm, you will enjoy beautiful views of Great Cruz Bay and the Caribbean Sea, with changing hues, as the sun moves across the sky. Evenings display fiery, golden sunsets and the twinkling lights of St. Thomas. The Villa owners, custom homebuilders from St. John Indiana, are pleased to share their piece of Caribbean paradise with the world. Truly, magnificent!


Set within lush tropical gardens, Villa South Palm faces west for long hours of Caribbean sun, fiery sunsets, and the evening
lights of St. Thomas and St. James. Overlooking the Westin Resort and its dock, the daily boat activity offers a calming charm.

South Palm’s architecure and design is the inspiration of stateside professional homebuilders who spent many years planning this home, which was completed in the summer of 2006. The attractive and functional 3-level design seen here is somewhat similar to the design of its popular Virgin Grand neighbor, Vista Caribe. South Palm has multiple exterior rooflines, but the 2800 sq/ft interior is all under one roof. The design incorporates many classic architectural features such as tiled roofs, beamed cathedral ceilings, coral stone floors, Doric columns, French doors under arched windows and a 750 sq/ft covered veranda (deck) on the villa’s south and east sides, and an 1100 sq/ft antique brick pool deck.

You park above the house and descend stairs to the main level and enter into the great room. The kitchen, powder room and dining areas adjoin the great room, and multiple French doors open to the tiled and covered decks. Off the deck, exterior stairs lead down a half level to the pool and an 1100 sq/ft brick sun deck. There is one bedroom/bath and private balcony on the main level, and a second bedroom/bath and private balcony is on the 3rd (upper) level. The other two master bedrooms are on the lower level and open to a sun terrace that is below the pool level. All four bedrooms are accessed by interior stairs and the entire site is colorfully landscaped with a vibrant array of tropical vegetation.

This new Suite St. John managed villa is owned by an experienced custom homebuilder husband/wife team, who oversaw the construction and interior design of their first island home. South Palm’s owners did a superb job. The site, layout, construction materials, and livability are all first class. The many features of this villa include:

  • Large outdoor covered decks that overlook the pool and have lovely views, privacy and comfortable deck furniture. If you love to be outside but not in the sun, covered decks are a blessing.
  • Beautiful, colorful landscaping that constantly reminds you that you’re in the tropics
  • A 32” satellite TV in the great room and 20” flat screen satellite TVs in every bedroom, plus high speed satellite internet access.
  • A stereo/CD system with an iPod hookup with speakers in the great room plus outdoor speakers on the deck.
  • A southwest sunny orientation with central a/c throughout the villa, which makes this home especially enjoyable in the summer months.
  • A 15’ x 22’ very private pool enclosed on 3 sides by a handsome brick sundeck.
  • An overall commitment to quality, as demonstrated by the use of copper sinks, Brazilian cherry and granite in every bathroom, the kitchen and even the laundry and powder rooms.
  • A very clever site and building plan that makes South Palm one of the quietest, most peaceful and private sites within the exclusive Virgin Grand Estates.

South Palm was designed with families in mind, with all the bedrooms under one roof, interior stairs and two bedrooms at ground level. This is also an excellent home for 2-4 couples, or honeymooners or lovers looking for some extra privacy. The owner welcomes weddings and this would be a great function house because the condos and hotel rooms of the Westin are (a walk) below you. Overall, South Palm is a villa that shows meticulous planning and excellent taste in the design and construction of the house and its surroundings.

Villa South Palm was designed to be a splendid vacation home, and it succeeds.

South Palm, with its brick paved pool deck overlooking Great Cruz Bay is the perfect location for weddings.
The stunning Caribbean backdrop accentuates the romance of wedding ceremonies and offers a wonderful setting for photographic and video keepsakes.

Custom wrought iron West Indian style railings abound the pool, balconies, and the inside staircase. All bedrooms have access to the main house, as they are all under one roof via the custom tiled staircase. A great touch for families with children.

The sunsets from the great room, which features a vaulted tongue and groove cypress ceiling, are absolutely fabulous. The southwesterly veranda overlooks the pool and the Caribbean Sea and enjoys cooling trade wind breezes. Sit on the veranda and observe the constant changing of the guard amongst the sailboats in Great Cruz Bay. A ten-minute drive puts you in the heart of Cruz Bay's restaurants and shops.
