A private life.
On the idyllic American island of
St. John, more than 14,500 acres
and over two-thirds of the lush
landscape and pristine waters are
so remarkable — they're preserved
as a U.S. National Park forever.
Pond Bay — the sister Private
Residence Club of Isle de France —
is designed to be as extraordinary
as its surroundings and equally
rare. Only a select few will have
the privilege of calling it their own.
A coveted place.
Captivated by St. John's unique beauty, philanthropist Laurance Rockefeller
began acquiring acreage in the 1950s, with the plan to gift it to the U.S.
Named a National Park in 1956, the island remains a sanctuary where wildlife,
natural beauty and historic sites are preserved for the enjoyment of all who
come to St. John.
Away from it all. Still close to home.
Despite its seeming remoteness, St. John is only a short
ferry ride from St. Thomas and its international airport,
offering the comforts of American currency and the
English language.
St. John's beaches have earned highest
accolades from Conde' Nast and are among
the Caribbean's most photographed. The island boasts more than 20 hiking
trails that visitors can explore in a safe,
well-managed National Park environment. Virgin Islands National Park Visitor Center Over the last few years, St. John has
become a world-class dining destination that
leaves no palate disappointed. Sunset at Cruz Bay Moongoose Junction in Cruz Bay offers
everything from high-end boutiques
to artisan shops to everything in between. Trunk Bay Maho Bay
Exclusively yours.
An intimate village with contemporary
tropical West Indian elegance, Pond
Bay is a sanctuary within a sanctuary.
With thoughtful landscaping ensuring
privacy, homes are located on 15+
acres of beachfront property
enveloped by crystal blue waters and
bordered by a natural pond.
