We are excited to hear that two new properties—the Westin Beach Resort and Spa at Frenchman’s Reef and The Seaborn at Frenchman’s Reef, an Autograph Collection—will be completed in St. Thomas this fall following a $350 million renovation. Finally, as St. Thomas is currently lacking in deluxe resort options. The Westin will occupy the space of the original Marriott Frenchman’s Reef which is located on an elevated peninsula with expansive sea views. This part of the property has been closed since the devastating hurricanes of 2017 and renovation was then delayed due to covid. The Westin will offer 392 rooms and suites; several restaurants; three ocean-view pools with an expansive pool deck with a pool bar and cabanas; a spa; a private dock; beach and more. Set along a stretch of Morningstar Beach, The Seaborn, formerly the Morning Star Marriott Beach, will offer a boutique vibe with only 94 rooms; several open-air restaurants and lounges; an infinity-edge pool, and swim-up bar; and a gym. The two resorts will be connected by Frenchman’s Reef beach. Guests at both resorts will have access to all amenities, including a private catamaran for snorkel trips and sunset sails.
