A private luxury Villa and retreat center overlooking the ocean nestled into the cliffs on the northeast side of St. Thomas. There are three main pods built into the cliffs along the ocean's edge that offer 9 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and multiple indoor and outdoor common areas. The Main Villa (Homebase), The Vision, and the Treehouse are connected by shared decks and community space, perfect for everything from yoga and stargazing to hanging out by the fire pit next to the infinity-edged pool.
-The Main Villa-
The Main Villa is where it all begins. As you walk through the arches from the driveway, the mountainside courtyard reveals itself to your right, a few more steps, and an expansive open kitchen with an ocean backdrop is on your left. Just outside the glass doors, coral stone decking paves the way to a stunning glass-tiled infinity-edge pool.

The Main Villa also has a great room called The Celestial Room, which is a large living room, meeting room, and playroom with a fireplace (full of candles), a Smart TV with Netflix, Disney, etc., and tons of comfortable seating to enjoy gazing out onto the ocean and islands scattered in the distance.
The large open kitchen is quite dramatic, open to the courtyard on one side and the beautiful coastline on the other. You’ll find everything you need there, including an icemaker! For additional catering needs, there is a kitchenette behind the great room that includes a sink, refrigerator, microwave, and toaster oven.
The glass tiled swimming pool is 32’ x 18’ with an infinity edge and it is a saltwater pool. There is also a 10ft x 5ft ledge that is only 18 inches deep for lounging or use as a dance floor. (Yes… it happens.) There are plenty of pool floats and comfy outdoor seating around a firepit. The steps that lead down from the pool lead to a large yoga deck that is suspended over the oceanfront jungle. We keep yoga mats, blocks, straps, and bolsters on-site for our guest's use in a storage room adjacent to the deck. Just off the yoga deck is a stairway down to the Vision.
-The Vision-

Spirit on the Water will surpass your expectations. Our cleaning staff is on the property three times per week to renew towels and tidy up common areas. If you desire more frequent cleaning, this can be arranged based on availability. We have an on-site property manager to assist with any property related problems that might arise. He is visible when you need him and invisible when you don’t. If you have any business needs such as printing or having documents mailed out, we would be happy to help. Pre-arrival and concierge services are available upon request for an additional fee.
In regards to transportation, we are happy to recommend a taxi service that we work with frequently. If you decide to rent a vehicle, we recommend a jeep or vehicle with a higher suspension as the roads on St. Thomas can sometimes be tricky.
Due to the fact that the electricity goes out on the island on a regular basis, we have an automatic generator to ensure you’ll never lose electricity. We also have a state-of-the-art water filtration system that revitalizes our collected rainwater for use. We also have high-speed wireless Internet throughout the villa.
Our property manager lives on site and is available anytime to help with any questions, directions, or recommendations you may need! There are two cats that live on the property.
Spirit on the Water is a loving environment - a home away from home for you to be you, where perfect is overrated, feelings are honored, and fun happens.
