The Buccaneer

The Buccaneer is the most storied resort in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a family-owned property that the Armstrong family has operated on St. Croix since 1947 and whose 340-acre estate traces its own history back to a 17th-century Knight of Malta manor house, an 18th-century sugar mill, and a working plantation whose original Great House now serves as the resort's finest dining room. Listed on the National Register of Historic Hotels of America in 2006 and consistently ranked among the Caribbean's top resorts by Condé Nast Traveler and USA TODAY, the property offers 134 rooms and suites across three secluded beaches, an 18-hole golf course, eight tennis courts, two pools, a full water sports program, and three ocean-inspired restaurants including complimentary breakfast at The Terrace, where 180-degree views of Christiansted harbor and the Caribbean Sea frame every morning meal. For groups, the resort offers six distinctive event venues including the historic sugar mill for up to 125 guests, with an experienced on-site events team and 6,140 square feet of flexible meeting space. For planners seeking a USVI property that combines genuine Caribbean history, three-generation family ownership, and a scale of natural beauty and activity variety that no competitor on St. Croix can match, The Buccaneer is the only choice.
