January Honeymoons |

Why Choose January

January is a wonderful time for a honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands. While much of the United Kingdom is cold and grey, St Thomas, St John and St Croix enjoy warm days, clear skies and a refreshing sea breeze. Temperatures are usually comfortable for exploring, relaxing and enjoying long evenings outdoors.

This is also one of the most popular periods to visit, so it pays to plan ahead. Booking early gives you a better choice of beachfront hotels, private villas and special honeymoon rooms. With the right arrangement, you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of the islands while still finding plenty of peaceful places for two.

Romantic Island Days

St Thomas is an easy place to begin your honeymoon, especially if you like a mixture of beaches, restaurants and sightseeing. Spend a morning swimming at Magens Bay, browse the shops in Charlotte Amalie, then take a slow drive through the hills for sweeping views across the harbour and neighbouring islands.

For a quieter escape, St John feels wonderfully natural. Much of the island is protected as part of the Virgin Islands National Park, with excellent beaches, forest trails and clear water for snorkelling. Trunk Bay is famous for its underwater trail, while smaller coves offer the chance to find your own calm corner of the coast.

Special Moments Together

A January honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands can be as relaxed or active as you wish. Charter a boat for a day, take a guided snorkelling trip, or simply settle beneath a palm tree with a good book. The water is inviting, and many beaches are ideal for a gentle swim before lunch.

Evenings are made for unhurried meals. Try fresh seafood, Caribbean-inspired dishes and locally grown ingredients at a waterfront restaurant, or choose a private villa where you can dine on your terrace. St Croix is particularly appealing for couples who enjoy history, food and a slower pace, with colourful Christiansted and Frederiksted providing attractive settings for an evening stroll.

Planning Your Honeymoon

Think about the sort of holiday you want before choosing your island. St Thomas suits couples looking for convenience and variety, St John is perfect for beaches and nature, and St Croix offers more space, heritage and local character. Island-hopping is also possible if you would like to experience more than one side of the US Virgin Islands.

Pack light clothing, swimwear, comfortable sandals and something smart for dinner. January sunshine can be strong, so include high-factor sun cream, a hat and a reusable water bottle. With warm weather, beautiful beaches and plenty of ways to spend time together, the US Virgin Islands provide a memorable setting for starting married life.
