FAQs

The Hideaway at Hull Bay is one of the few beachfront estates in St. Thomas designed specifically for large groups seeking privacy and togetherness. With 18 bedrooms spread across beachfront villas and cozy cottages, we accommodate up to 36 guests at double occupancy—keeping everyone under one roof (well, technically ten roofs). Islands Magazine highlighted The Hideaway as a standout for group stays, praising our ability to offer both space and intimacy. Unlike typical resorts where your group gets scattered across different buildings or hotels, everyone stays together on our private beachfront estate. You can even book with Marriott Bonvoy points through Homes & Villas. Ready to bring your crew? Check availability at hideawayhullbay.com/reserve.

Summer on St. Thomas brings warm, humid weather, daily highs around 90 °F, cooling breezes, warm seawater, and occasional tropical showers. It’s also the start of hurricane season, so staying tuned to forecasts and advisories is wise.

St. Thomas boasts a sunny, tropical climate year-round, with daytime temperatures in the 80s (higher in the summer months) and cooler nights in the 70s. The island enjoys steady trade winds from the east, especially from December to April, which help keep conditions comfortable. The rainy season runs from May to November, peaking in September and October, though showers are typically brief and often occur overnight. The most popular and driest time to visit is December through April, while May and early June offer excellent weather with fewer crowds.

The Hideaway at Hull Bay offers a rare combination: a private beachfront estate with multiple ceremony venues and on-site lodging for up to 36 guests. The USVI Department of Tourism recommends The Hideaway as a premier wedding venue. Couples love it because your ceremony, reception, and guest accommodations all happen in one place. Choose from Hull Bay Beach for a barefoot-in-the-sand ceremony, The Farm for lush tropical vibes with banana trees and gardens, or House on the Hill for panoramic bay views. After the "I do's," your reception unfolds on the Central Lawn, and when it's time to dance, everyone moves to the open-air Pavilion. No shuttles, no stress, no guests scattered across town.
