Lovango is a private island resort destination in the USVI accessible via ferry from Cruz Bay, St. John or Redhook, St. Thomas or by private charter. Lovango Resort & Beach Club is opening in phases beginning next month and running through 2021.
The resort will include a full service beach club, ocean front restaurant, three bedroom villa, retail village, and 14 ocean view homesites. The hotel component of the project, comprising a collection of bungalow cottages and luxury tents, is opening winter 2021.
The resort is fully sustainable using wind and solar power, in addition to a desalination system for converting seawater to potable water. The University of the US Virgin Islands is partnering with the Lovango Resort to restore the coral around the island. Snorkeling opportunities to see the coral restoration program in progress and educational programs are the first of its kind to be made accessible to USVI residents and visitors.
The Lovango Resort + Beach Club is the third property in the Little Gem Resorts collection of boutique island hotels that also includes The Nantucket Hotel + Resort and the Winnetu Oceanside Resort on Martha’s Vineyard.
