Where to stay on St. Thomas, area by area
East End & Red Hook
Red Hook's ferry dock for St. John and the BVI, Sapphire, Lindquist and Secret Harbour beaches, restaurants and bars you can walk to. The resort and condo end of the island, about 30–40 minutes from the airport.
- TaxiTaxi from Airport (STT) to Red Hook$23 one rider · $17 each for 2+ (official fare)
Charlotte Amalie & Frenchtown
Town: the harbour, the shops, Frenchtown's restaurants, the closest beds to the airport. Busy on cruise-ship days, quiet in the evening once the ships sail.
- TaxiTaxi from Airport (STT) to Charlotte Amalie$11 one rider · $9 each for 2+ (official fare)
South Shore
Bolongo, Frenchman's Bay and Morningstar: beaches on the south coast between town and the East End, ten to twenty minutes from either.
- TaxiTaxi from Airport (STT) to Bolongo Bay$18 one rider · $14 each for 2+ (official fare)
North Side
Hillside villas above Magens Bay, Hull Bay and Mahogany Run: cooler air, big views of the BVI, and steep roads. You will want a car.
- TaxiTaxi from Airport (STT) to Magens Bay$18 one rider · $15 each for 2+ (official fare)
West End
The far, rural end of the island past the airport: Botany Bay, farms and very few people. Quiet, and a long way from the ferries.
- TaxiTaxi from Airport (STT) to Bordeaux$17 one rider · $14 each for 2+ (official fare)

St. Thomas vacation rental FAQ
Where is the best place to stay on St. Thomas?
The island most visitors fly into. Stay on the East End for the St. John ferries and the calmest beaches, in or near Charlotte Amalie for town and the shortest airport ride, or up on the North Side for the views and the quiet. Each area is described above with the official taxi fare to it.
Do I need a car on St. Thomas?
It depends on the area: town stays can manage with taxis, hillside villas need a car. Driving is on the left in American left-hand-drive cars. See our St. Thomas car rental page.
