About The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort

A luxury resort with sensational ocean views, first-rate amenities, and renowned dining options, The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort is a peerless representation of St. Croix luxury. The rich history of The Buccaneer dates back to 1653 when Charles Martel, a Knight of Malta, first utilized the site as an estate. The Buccaneer was then officially founded in 1947, and while it has become an internationally-recognized hotel with endless modern conveniences, its beautiful architecture and spectacular setting pleasantly remind guests of the island’s fascinating past.

In planning a honeymoon at the beloved destination, couples can select from luxurious resort rooms and even a lavish beach house. The beautiful rooms range from the Great House Ocean View Room with stunning Caribbean views and direct access to the resort’s best amenities, to the Frigate Suite with a plush four-poster king bed, double shower, spacious patio, and beachfront views.

Activities are always close at hand at The Buccaneer thanks to an 18-hole golf course with sweeping ocean views, exceptional tennis courts, spotless swimming pools, and a myriad of watersports. You’ll undoubtedly work up an appetite enjoying all of the provided activities, allowing you to enjoy the on-site Terrace Restaurant, Mermaid Restaurant, or even private beachfront cabana dining for two by candlelight.

To elevate your romantic honeymoon even further, The Buccaneer offers an ultimate honeymoon package complete with a Buck Island snorkeling trip, beach cabana rental, king-bedded room, welcome Prosecco and fine chocolates, and more. As you indulge in all of the included romantic extras, you’ll understand why The Bachelor has utilized the location as an essential filming destination.

Add in a full-service spa complete with sensuous bamboo bliss massages and rejuvenating therapy sessions, and the 340-acre modern resort is an exemplary example of what a honeymoon should be. Attentive staff, preeminent accommodations, and activities for every type of couple all await at The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort.

Comfort in paradise!

The Buccaneer is the absolute best place to stay in the Virgin Islands. Beautiful rooms, outstanding amenities, pristine beaches and wonderful food. It has it all. And the staff made us feel like we were part of the family. Not many places give you an opportunity to speak one on one with the owner. Elizabeth, thank you for a wonderful…

Wonderful-- truly!

Exceptional · Jan 2026

I feel at a loss to describe the true hospitality and peace we experienced at this hotel.

The room was quiet and clean and I appreciated the tile floors allowing for minimal sand. I would suggest…

The front desk was very helpful in arranging taxis and in lending towels for excursions where we might get wet. Our room was large and well-appointed with a beautiful balcony. The Terrace Restaurant had a delicious buffet breakfast…

First Class Family Resort

They overdelivered on every aspect. We came to celebrate anniversaries, but were treated more like royalty. We really appreciated the friendliness of the staff from the front…
