One of the most accessible Caribbean islands to travel to in the region is Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. And if you’re headed to Caribbean Posh Weekend, here’s everything you need to know to go for the ULTIMATE Caribbean Women Empowerment Event.
Official Dates for Caribbean Posh Weekend are Friday June 28th to Sunday June 30th…
but definitely fly in a day earlier to get situated or leave a day later if you want to explore and enjoy everything Saint Thomas has to offer. Caribbean Posh Weekend is being hosted at the scenic Harbor 360 in Yacht Haven Grande.
First of all, you don’t need a passport and travel time is fairly quick with a flight under 3 hours from South Florida to Cyril E. King Airport (airport code STT) starting at $300+USD and straight flights from most major cities. The only currency used and accepted in Saint Thomas is USD (United States Dollar). Plus getting around is no issue with a plethora of means for transportation (rental car, taxi).
Where To Stay
There are plenty of options when it comes to accommodations in Saint Thomas from boutique hotels to Airbnb rentals but there are several options such as The Pink Palm VI, Black Beards, Margaritaville, The Westin Beach Resort & Spa, Bolongo Bay Beach Resort and more.
Caribbean Posh Attendees can get 15% off their accommodations if they opt to stay at the chic and sophisticated adults-only boutique hotel, The Pink Palm Hotel. This hotel boasts of some of the most gorgeous views of the island and Charlotte Amalie while providing an oasis-like feel steps away from the city and harbor below. When you register early for the Caribbean Posh Weekend, you get first dibs to select accommodations at the beautiful Pink Palm Hotel, first priority to exceptional masterclasses, and the official after party along with other perks and goodies that will be revealed as we count down to this amazing weekend.
