Thank you for your interest in Luminaria. A quest to find our special piece of paradise led us on many adventures throughout the Caribbean, including several incredible sailing trips in the British Virgin Islands. In St John we found an unsurpassed combination of calm crystal clear aqua water, gorgeous white powder beaches, and lush tropical beauty. The name Luminaria was chosen to reflect the bright and majestic spirit of our private island paradise. We look forward to sharing to the magic with you!
