Location - St. Croix, USVI
The eco-friendly lodging in Northside Valley’s eight villas enthralls the senses with lush landscape, birdsong, and breathtaking ocean views. The crystal-clear water makes for sightseeing and snorkeling, with frequent sightings of turtles, sea fans, and the big-eyed squirrel fish. Northside Valley recycles and reuses as much as possible, which means your villa comes with a recycle and compost bin as well as dishpans in the kitchen. The villas utilize high ceilings, wide windows, and the shade of native trees to keep your abode cool. Northside Valley is dedicated to offering a vacation that minimizes the impact of human habitation on the surrounding environment.
It’s time to slow down.
It’s time to focus on you.
