Lovango Cay USVI US Virgin Islands
US Virgin Islands
Frequently Asked Questions
Nowhere: ships anchor offshore and tender passengers to the estate's dock. The cay is too small for a pier, which limits calls to small, intimate ships.
An organised beach day, and nothing else. The beach club occupies the south shore facing Pillsbury Sound and the hills of St. John: shaded loungers, a pool looking out to sea, showers, towels and snorkelling gear.
No, and that is worth saying plainly. The cay has no town, no road and no monument: it was a green rock frequented by fishermen and goats until the estate opened in 2020. Anyone after a cultural call will be disappointed.
Yes. The estate restaurant works with local fish, lobster and cocktails built on rums from the neighbouring islands. A few artisan shops round out the offering.
Excellent and easy: the Pillsbury Sound water is clear and sheltered, and snorkelling gear is provided on site. The beach shelves gently.
The US dollar. The US Virgin Islands are a United States territory and credit cards are accepted throughout the estate.
Yes for Canadians: the cay is part of the US Virgin Islands, and therefore United States territory. A valid passport is the document to carry, even for a few hours ashore.
English, with the Virgin Islands Creole accent. French is not spoken here.
Yes for a quiet beach day, with calm water and facilities close at hand. There is no kids' club and no entertainment programme, though: the place is aimed at couples and small groups.
December through April, the dry season with the calmest seas. From June to November, hurricane season can cancel the call outright, all the more so since going ashore depends entirely on sea conditions.
