The detail

If you’ve always dreamt of love at first sight then book your stay at this tropical paradise. Settled on St John’s in the US Virgin Islands, it is a blissful villa amongst mesmerising parkland. Gaze at the lush, rolling mountains and the exotic flowers and the crystal clear waters of the famous Drake Channel. Warm sea waters lap on golden sandy beaches, while colourful birds flit amongst the treetops.

Mystic Ridge is amongst this magical backdrop, and is a luxurious villa perched high up in the mountains. Imagine dreamy sunrises and bubbling champagne, along with steamy Jacuzzis and sundowner cocktails. Sunbathe on the terrace or cool off in the pool, meditating peacefully amongst Nature’s jewels. Soak up the scorching summer sun and watch clear night skies, stealing a kiss as the stars shine.

Scattered around the terrace are four luxury double suites: Harmony, Bliss Dream and Serenity. Each sumptuous suite has sophisticated furnishings with sink-in beds, designer prints and impressive en-suite bathrooms. High ceilings and neutral shades create a luxe, beach hut vibe, while vintage armoires and louvered shutters reveal their romantic side. The sensational master suite even has its own exclusive balcony, overlooking the tranquil mountains and sparkling shoreline.

A massive living area can also be found off the sprawling terrace and has cosy sofas, a well-equipped kitchen and a casual dining table. Enjoy relaxed pre-dinner drinks or large family meals, turning up the music and talking long into the evening. A crackling fire pit is the perfect end to the night where you can soak up the incredible views and wait for the sun to rise.

St John’s Island is an undiscovered jewel that has a lush, forest coastline hugging golden sandy beaches. Its protected National Parkland spans two thirds of the island and is a pristine haven with stunning wildlife. Roam along its secluded paths or down to the idyllic Coral Bay, stopping at the boutique shops scattered along the way. Hidden off the beaten track and away from the mass tourist trade, it is a tranquil Caribbean island where dreams can be made.
