Full, Partial, or Shared Estate Buyout
-
For couples wanting the entire property to themselves, a Full Estate Buyout accommodates up to 36 guests across 8 cottages and 2 villas. A Partial Estate Buyout sleeps up to 24 guests in 8 cottages. Both options include exclusive access to the property and welcome cocktails upon arrival. For Full and Partial Buyouts, the couple pays for all accommodations; group buyouts require in-person check-in. For a more flexible approach, a Shared Buyout allows couples to hold the date with the wedding event fee as a deposit, while guests book and pay for their rooms individually.

Rehearsal Dinners & Welcome Parties
-
The Shack, our beachside restaurant and bar next door, is the ideal setting for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and casual celebrations. Choose a Full Restaurant Buyout for complete exclusivity, or the Big Bar Buyout—a guest favorite featuring a spacious covered pavilion, two fully equipped bars, and open lawn space. Each event beyond the wedding is priced individually. Either option comes with Hull Bay's golden-hour sunset views.
-
Farm-to-Table Private Dining
-
The Hideaway offers farm-to-table private dining with a rotating seasonal menu featuring fresh seafood and vegetables grown on the property's own farm. For daytime gatherings, platter-style lunches are available with optional mimosas, priced per person. Every dish reflects the island's rhythm—sun, soil, and sea.
Bar & Beverage Options
-
The Shack features two fully equipped bars with flexible options for any event. Guests can choose from curated bar packages: an Open Bar with seasonally rotating frozen drinks and craft cocktails, or Batched Cocktails for easy, ready-to-pour service. The Wuk-Up! option allows guests to order individually and open their own tabs. Craft cocktail add-ons and upgraded glassware rentals are also available. The selection includes two types of beer and seltzer. The restaurant is steps from the beach—no beach servers, but it's an easy barefoot walk to food and drinks.

When to Visit St. Thomas
-
St. Thomas enjoys year-round sunny, tropical weather, with temperatures in the 80s and 90s and steady trade winds. The most popular season runs from December through April—the driest months with the most comfortable conditions. May and early June offer excellent weather with fewer crowds. The rainy season spans May through November, peaking in September and October, though showers are typically brief and often arrive overnight. Hurricane season runs June through November; summer months can reach 90°F with higher humidity, so it's worth keeping an eye on forecasts when planning.

Planning Your Visit: Weather Essentials"
Temperatures hover in the 80s and 90s year-round, cooled by steady trade winds. If you want guaranteed sunshine and low humidity, aim for December through April. Looking for fewer crowds without sacrificing weather? May and early June hit that sweet spot.
Summer brings warmer temps and brief tropical showers—usually overnight, rarely a day-wrecker. Hurricane season officially runs June through November (peak activity in September–October), so keep an eye on forecasts if you're booking those months.
