April in St. Thomas: The Sweet Spot
April hits the sweet spot in the Virgin Islands. The winter rush has faded, the weather is consistently warm (averaging around 80°F/27°C), and the skies are clear—perfect for swimming, hiking, sailing, and unwinding on a quiet beach.
It’s also the time when The Hideaway’s farm begins to hit peak productivity, and cultural events like Carnival in St. Thomas fill the island with energy and color—without the overwhelming crowds of summer.
Why April Works for Families with Kids
Mild Temperatures: April’s gentle warmth makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors with kids, without the risk of overheating.
Calmer Beaches: Family favorites like Magens Bay are quieter, making them safer and more enjoyable for little ones.
Better Travel Rates: With flexible flight options and off-peak pricing, April is a smart time to book an unforgettable (yet more affordable) family vacation.
Add in The Hideaway’s spacious cottages, walkable beach access, and optional outdoor workshops for kids on the farm, and it becomes a destination where every generation can find their rhythm.
April for Couples: Romance, Privacy, and a Slower Pace
Secluded Moments: From sunset strolls along Hull Bay to dinners beneath the stars, April’s atmosphere is perfect for couples looking to unwind without the chaos of tourist season.

Flexible Itineraries: With fewer crowds, you can keep your plans spontaneous and truly embrace the moment.
Private Group Getaways: Why April is the Best Time to Go Together
