A private and funky one of a kind villa and retreat center overlooking the ocean, Spirit on the Water is nestled into the cliffs on the northeast side of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. This retreat includes three main pods built into the cliffs along the ocean's edge, offering 9 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and multiple indoor and outdoor common areas. The Main Villa, The Vision, and The Treehouse are connected by shared decks and community spaces, perfect for everything from yoga and stargazing to hanging out by the fire pit next to the infinity-edged pool.
