The Retreat is designed to accommodate up to 10 guests, its two separate bedroom suites allowing families or couples to enjoy complete privacy. On either side of the main pavilion, the ground floor of each of the two bedroom pavilions contains a king bed. The loft on the second floor of each pavilion (accessed by a pull-down wooden ladder), has a couch with a memory foam mattress that can be made into a queen bed. Linen drapes can be drawn to screen off each loft from the bedroom below.

Both bedroom suites are air-conditioned and are equipped with ceiling fans. Each bedroom pavilion has its own separate bathroom and outoor shower with ocean views. The Retreat is transitioning to the use of eco-friendly electric incinerating toilets, which do not consume precious water (a scarce resource on St. John) or produce polluting waste. Our on-island managers will instruct you in the simple use of this innovative and highly sanitary system upon your arrival.

The couch in the living room unfolds into a queen bed, also with memory foam mattress, providing a total of 5 adult beds. Additional twin and infant airbeds are available upon request.
