About Bluebeard’s Castle:

Bluebeard’s Castle is a historic property dating back to the 1600s. The Castle is located high on a hilltop with spectacular views overlooking the harbor and town of Charlotte Amalie. Its signature red rooftops are among the first sights for arriving cruise ship passengers in the harbor below. The resort includes a centuries-old fortress bearing the name ‘Bluebeard’ after stories (none substantiated) connected the pirate with the tower. Today, the stone tower is encircled by pristine accommodations, garden walkways and courtyards with the most scenic view on the islands. The resort’s location provides easy access to St. Thomas’ myriad of activities, including dining, shopping, snorkeling and more. Bluebeard’s Castle is a timeshare and whole owner property divided up into four owners’ associations. The resort includes studio and one- and two-bedroom suites. SPM Resorts began managing the property in 2004. Since that time, the associations have undertaken major renovations to restore the property to its elegant heritage. www.bluebeardscastles.com
