Water Island, the most recent addition to the USVI, offers you a unique, informal, and private location. This tropical paradise, 491.5 acres, is largely undeveloped and un-commercialized. It offers visitors and residents a superb opportunity to relax and get away from everything.

Water Island is a few minutes from St. Thomas Airport, just a half mile off the south side of St. Thomas, and is served by regular ferry service.

The island is not crowded, population 161 (2000 Census), and is often referred to by residents and visitors as the "last Virgin."  Your time on Water Island might comprise of restful days at the beach reading a novel, fishing, enjoying a casual meal with neighbors at the beach or deli restaurant, hiking around the relatively traffic free roads, taking a fun bike tour, taking a daytrip to St. Thomas for shopping, or just more fun.

Water Island does not have taxis, public buses, gas stations, hotels, rental cars, or a main town... it is a residential island that offers true peace and quiet as only a small island could offer. Many of the residents get around with either a car or a golf cart.

A small neighborhood grocery store/deli is available for getting lunch/dinner and for shopping. Local gourmet beach vendor and unique open air bar are an added convenience. The store offers a provision service which on-island residents can use to order their groceries for delivery to their homes.
