If you are looking for something new to do on your next visit to St. John, please consider taking a quick ferry trip over to Lovango Cay, and spend the day at Lovango Resort + Beach Club.
Lovango (pronounce lo-von-go) is a small island located north of St. John. Roughly half of the island is privately owned by individuals, and the other half is home to the Lovango Resort + Beach Club. The Beach Club is open to public. All you have to do is book a ticket over on Lovango’s private ferry, and you can enjoy a day at their beach club or dine at their waterfront restaurant. The ferry is quick ride, maybe 10 minutes at most.
You have three options when visiting the Beach Club. You can rent a lounge chair on the beach for $150. (Virgin Islands residents get a discounted rate of $125 per person.) If you’d like to be a little more bougie, or have some extra space, you can opt to reserve a poolside or beach cabana. Both cabanas are available $245 per person. The poolside cabanas, which can accommodate up to six people, are $275 per person during festive week, according to the website. Umbrellas, towels, food and drink service, snorkeling equipment, and showers are all included when you reserve a spot at the Beach Club.




(The poolside cabana is my absolute favorite. We’ve previously spent Christmas and Easter there, and had a great time both times.)
The Beach Club includes a large, 70-foot, infinity-edge pool. It has large steps that are good for lounging on, plus a sitting bench on two sides. There is a small pool beside it that’s just a few inches deep, which is a great spot for lounging and for smaller children to play. And new this year is an adult-only plunge pool.



There is not direct water access at the beach club; however you can access the water from other areas of the property. There is great snorkeling around the resort too.
In addition to the pool, Lovango Resort + Beach Club has three hiking trails, two waterfront dining options, six boutiques, and a gym in the jungle which can be included as a beach club add-on. There are plenty of lawn games and even a life-sized game of chess to keep the kids occupied.

The resort section at Lovango is pretty incredible too, but I’ll have more on that another day.
