If you and your partner are interested in a romantic vacation, you may have a hard time deciding on a location because there is such a large number of vacation destinations to choose from. However, I would like to propose St. Thomas, in the US Virgin Islands, which lies in the Caribbean.

St. Thomas is well-known for its romantic holidays. Hundreds of thousands of couples have been vacationing in St. Thomas in order to enjoy a private, intimate, and romantic break. If you are asking yourself why St. Thomas is such as magnificent place for romantic getaways, you should read more about St. Thomas on their official Internet web site.

The Caribbean, in general, is well known for its wonderful, hot weather and this sort of setting is many couples’ ideal romantic getaway. The lovely weather means unparalleled opportunities for swimming and other beach activities. If seeing all the beautiful people in their swimming costumes does not turn you on then nothing will!.

However, do not think that St. Thomas is only designed for younger people. It caters very well for people of all age groups, although some resorts are ‘adults only’. So, if you will have to check up on any age restrictions on some of the private beaches. Some may be Club 18-30, others may not allow under 18 year olds.

The ‘adults only’ resorts in St. Thomas are perfect for romantic vacations. The hotel rooms in these resorts are also of a higher class. Many of them have ocean views and large in room baths or jacuzzis. If you can get hold of one these rooms, you may not even want to go outside.

However, if you do want to venture outside, many of St. Thomas’ beach resorts offer outstanding opportunities for all kinds of water sports like boat trips, snorkeling and assisted scuba diving tours. If you are not water-orientated or you want to try something on land then there is horseback riding too. Horse riding along the coast is very popular. Many resorts have their own specialist activities, so when you reserve your holiday, make sure you check out what is available to you in that locality.

There are ample opportunities for shopping and sight-seeing on your own too. You could hire a car and head up the coast or inland to one of the national parks, where you may see wildlife or find a secluded restaurant serving delicious local food.

Last, but definitely not least, in the list of romantic things to do in St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands is to get wed. There are fewer restrictions on marriage for American couples than on mainland America. The only observances are a $50 fee and an eight day posting of bans to declare your intention to wed. You can get married at almost any time of the day or night. So, a sunset wedding on the beach is easily workable and is, in fact, one of the most popular romantic reasons for young couples coming to St. Thomas.
