Holidays, Simplified (So You Can Just Show Up)

This season, let our team turn your getaway into a true Caribbean Christmas. From trimming a beautiful tree in your villa to cooking an island-to-table Christmas dinner (or a relaxed holiday luncheon), we handle the details so you can handle the memories. Book your flight, arrive in paradise, and we’ll make the rest effortless.

We’ve always believed great hospitality is equal parts flavor and thoughtfulness. That’s the heart behind our holiday service: curated décor, a polished service team, and menus that honor both tradition and place—so every gathering feels festive, delicious, and unmistakably St. John.

A Tropical Twist on Tradition

Think classic comfort, brightened by the Caribbean:

• Tree & Trimmings: We’ll deliver and set up a Christmas tree with warm lights, coastal accents, and elegant ornaments—styled to your villa’s look and your preferences.
• Tablescapes & Touches: Island-inspired linens, seasonal greenery, and candlelight that glow against the evening sea.
• Villa-Ready Pantry: Pre-arrival groceries, breakfast staples, and holiday extras (think local jams, fresh breads, and sparkling refreshments).
• Festive Sips: Sorrel mocktails or a holiday punch; we can also coordinate bar setup and staffing upon request.

Island-to-Table Holiday Menus

Our holiday offerings blend beloved classics with bright, local flavors. Menus change with availability, but here’s a taste of what we’re planning:

• Starters: Conch fritters with herb aioli • Roasted pumpkin soup with coconut cream • Garden salad from Josephine’s Greens with citrus vinaigrette
• Mains (choose one or mix & match): Citrus-herb roasted turkey with pan gravy, slow-braised short ribs with tamarind glaze, and reef-caught snapper with garlic-lime butter
• Sides: Island stuffing with plantain & herbs, creamy mashed yuca or classic mashed potatoes, charred local vegetables, and rum-glazed carrots
• Desserts: Guava bread pudding with vanilla sauce, coconut custard tart, and spiced ginger cake with whipped cream

Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are always available. We’re happy to build a fully custom menu for multi-generational gatherings or intimate celebrations for two.

Christmas Dinner or Holiday Luncheon—Your Choice

Whether you’re planning a formal Christmas dinner, a relaxed Christmas Day luncheon, or a series of festive meals throughout your stay, we’ll match the tone you want:

• Seated Villa Dinner: Chef-prepared, plated courses with professional service.
• Family-Style Luncheon: A beautiful spread that invites lingering and second helpings.
• Grazing & Canapés: For welcome parties, yacht days, or beach-picnic moments that feel spontaneous, but taste refined.

How It Works (Three Easy Steps)

1. Tell Us Your Dates & Guest Count: Share your villa location, preferred date (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or the surrounding days), and any dietary preferences.

2. Choose Your Style: Tree setup and décor only, full holiday meal, or the complete package. We’ll tailor menus and service to your plans.
3. Arrive & Enjoy: We’ll handle provisioning, prep, staffing, and cleanup. Your job? Unwrap the view and make memories.

Rooted in Community, Crafted with Care

As always, we source thoughtfully, working with local fishermen and island farms like Josephine’s Greens to bring the freshest produce to your table. It’s the same “island-to-table” approach we shared last month, now dressed for the holidays: honest ingredients, careful technique, and warmth that lingers.
