Eco-chic private island resort with treehouses, tents, and cottages
"Anchored on a private cay just offshore, this high-end, semi-private island retreat earned community goodwill by opening a restaurant and beach club first before adding rooms; by 2025 it offers luxury treehouses, glamping tents, oceanfront villas, and a just-opened “Gym in the Jungle.” Sustainability runs through the experience, from a coral reef restoration project with the University of the Virgin Islands to guided hikes hosted by the St. John Land Conservancy, and each May the on-site Taste of Lovango festival—now entering its fourth edition—draws chefs from across the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and beyond for beach cookouts, prix-fixe dinners, and cocktail-making demos." - Siobhan Reid
"A resort open to day visitors and overnight guests with amenities that include a 70-foot-long infinity pool and a desert island-style gym on the beach; the property's Romance Package includes three nights in jungle-immersed treehouses or glamping tents and a private poolside cabana for one day." - Georgina Lawton Georgina Lawton Georgina Lawton is a journalist, editor, speaker, and former Guardian columnist.

"Skip the crowds of St. John or St. Thomas and plan your stay at Lovango Resort & Beach Club where you can spend hours exploring offshore on your very own private beach." - Nicole Kliest
"Located across Saint John’s legendary Caneel Bay on an island all its own, this unpretentious seasonal resort (open December through July) features the USVI’s only beach club and eco-chic accommodation in the form of wooden treehouses, explorer-style tents, one-bedroom cottages and a private three-bedroom villa. Views of the surrounding jewel-toned waters abound, peaking at Treetops Lobby Tent, where birds-eye-views of St. John proper and St. Thomas can be admired in a single panorama. Indulge in island cuisine and rum-spiked fun at the resort’s Waterfront Café (we recommend the smoked pineapple rum old fashioned and the signature Caribbean lobster schnitzel) or its fast-casual counterpart, Sand Pit, which services Lovango’s Beach Club and its cabana-lined swimming pool. For active and gastronomic pursuits in greater St. John, take the ferry to Cruz Bay, which runs regularly; for another incarnation of beach bliss, hop on the five-minute ferry to St. John’s Honeymoon Beach, which runs on select days." - Paul Rubio
