Frenchman's Reef (The Westin Beach Resort & Spa and Buoy Haus Beach Resort)

Frenchman's Reef is the most ambitious hospitality investment in the U.S. Virgin Islands in decades, a $425 million rebuild of the legendary clifftop resort that was severely damaged by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 and reopened in 2023 as two interconnected but distinct properties: The Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman's Reef, a 392-room full-service clifftop hotel with a 9,930-square-foot divisible ballroom and extensive group meeting infrastructure, and Morningstar Buoy Haus Beach Resort, a boutique Autograph Collection property at the water's edge offering 94 rooms and a more intimate beachfront experience. Together the two properties offer access to nine dining outlets, four pools, a private marina, a Heavenly Spa by Westin with 12 treatment rooms, and one of the most spectacular natural settings available to a U.S.-based group, all without requiring passports for American travelers. Charlotte Amalie harbor, the duty-free shopping of downtown St. Thomas, and easy ferry access to St. John and the British Virgin Islands give groups arriving from the mainland an immediately immersive Caribbean experience. For planners seeking a USVI property with both the scale to handle serious group volume and the setting to deliver a genuinely transformative incentive or conference experience, the rebuilt Frenchman's Reef is the definitive answer.
