If Kenny Chesneys Moments in the Sun television special has you longing for the islands, St. John makes it an
easy order to fill. This exclusive island is home to Kenny Chesney but its
also a popular getaway for romantic vacationers who would like an island
home away from home feeling for a few special days.
Why Its Dreamy: Unlike neighboring St. Thomas (home of the closest
airport), St. John is quiet and, while dependent on tourists, certainly
not touristy. Two-thirds of the island is protected by national park; the
remainder of the island is quiet. Although youll find the Westin St.
John here as well as some smaller properties, a unique part of the islands
appeal are its many villas, the perfect way for the two of you to feel like
celebrities yourselves.

While theres no guarantee youll see the islands best known
resident, its easy to enjoy some of his favorite attractions on the

the night before the beachside wedding of Chesney

as Pacific Rim fare at this eatery.
- Woody's Seafood Saloon, Cruz Bay.
Just a block from downtown Cruz Bay, this casual eatery
has long been a favorite hangout of Chesneys; it served dinner

stay for a casual Caribbean seafood dinner.
- Ivans Stress Free Bar, Jost
Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands. The video for No Shirt, No Shoes,
