A Signature Development of Timbers Resorts
In all the world, no waters equal those of the Caribbean. Alluring. Gentle. Beguiling. There is
a mystique shrouded in a thousand shades of blue. This idyllic sea, a comfortable distance from
civilization, has for centuries enchanted natives and travelers alike. And among the many jewels
in this treasured string of isles, rests a pristine preserve at the far West End of St. Thomas in the
U.S. Virgin Islands. Overlooking three half-moon beaches, with waves gently lapping and a steel drum
floating on the breeze, there may be no better place to watch the sun slowly slip below the horizon.
On this fabled island, on this perfect coast, paradise begins. Welcome to The Preserve at Botany Bay.
he gentle caress of a breeze, then the
soft rustle of a palm. The quiet roll of a
coral blue wave lapping talcum sands.
Long arms of bougainvillea inching
around the cool stones of a forgotten
sugar mill. Here, on this majestic island
within an island, souls are nourished,
nature is preserved, the world is at bay.
The Preserve at Botany Bay is a protected,
397-acre enclave at the secluded West
End of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin
Islands. In this perfect and pristine world,
where the tiny islands of Salt Cay reach
out to sea, an intimate and luxurious
resort is taking shape – private estate lots
with postcard-perfect unobstructed views;
luxurious villas crowning the pinnacle
of the property; a five-star boutique
hotel and residence club; a waterfront
spa and beach club; and perhaps, you.
T
The history of the U.S. Virgin Islands is steeped in rich and
colorful hues, with elements of the past still visible in the
present. First came the Indians from South America followed
by the Spanish, French, Dutch, English – even pirates and
buccaneers have seen their flag flying over these fabled islands
and called them home. And so, from St. Thomas’s harbor of
capital Charlotte Amalie to the quiet west end where Botany
Bay awaits, the culture is a tapestry of Latin sensuality,
European grace and a distinctly Caribbean love of life that
inspires everyone who reaches this perfect island paradise.
t. Thomas is a legendary destination for
water sports enthusiasts and modern day
adventurers. Hike the island’s rolling
hills surrounded by the panorama where
the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean
Sea. Meander the silky soft beaches, and
curl up under a palm on what was once
a sugar plantation. Diaphanous waters
provide unparalleled visibility for diving
and snorkeling – the coral reef floor is
as dazzling below the surface as above.
Challenge the sea’s big-game fish, or sail
from isle to beautiful isle with a gentle
nudge from the Caribbean trade winds.
S
rtifacts found on the shores of Botany Bay indicate
that the area was first settled more than 1,600
years ago. The found materials – which include
decorative ceramics and spiritual pieces – as
well as architectural ruins on the property have
been the subject of considerable attention by
archaeologists, who have successfully petitioned to
add the site to the National Register of Historic
Places. Bearing in mind the site’s historical
importance, we have taken many steps to ensure
low-impact development at The Preserve at Botany
Bay, paying rigorous attention to architectural
design and landscaping, focusing on erosion- and
sediment-control measures during construction,
and protecting the coastline, beaches and reefs.
We are working with archaeologists, botanists
and local historians so this treasured site will
not only be sustained, but also evolve as a place
of discovery for generations to come. This
environmental awareness is more than something
our Owners expect – it’s part of who we are.
A
A place so special could only realize its
potential through architecture informed by
the island’s rich history and the promise of
all that is possible. Private Villas look across
infinity pools that fall from one level to the
next, a waterside spa and beach club are joined
by soft sands and lines of palms, and atop
the cliff separating the two bays, a dining
and swimming pavilion is as breathtaking
as the sunsets. Everywhere are echoes of the
hewn stone ruins of the sugar mill, contrasted
with sleek contemporary surfaces. Here,
design inspires and invigorates the spirit.
rom diving at dawn to a nap at the beach to
a sunset sail, every day at Botany Bay brings
endless delights and diversions. Everywhere
are lushly secluded private spaces, the most
inviting being the Beach Club at the edge
of Botany Bay – where an infinity-edge
pool, swim-up bar and grill, and restaurant
with indoor and al fresco seating await.
Not far along the shore is the spa, where
treatments at the water’s edge promise a
new dimension in relaxation. Designed
around native healing methods and salves
that have nurtured islanders for generations,
treatments soothe and invigorate the mind,
body and spirit. More formal, but always
relaxed dining and cocktails are to be found
atop the point between Sandy Bay and
Botany Bay. Overlooking a spectacular pool
that disappears into the Caribbean, this is
one of the most glorious settings on Earth.
F
Owners at Botany Bay will enjoy a wealth of luxurious
services and amenities. Fresh flowers from the property
and delicacies from the island anticipate arrival. The
refrigerator and pantry are stocked. Daily housekeeping,
a personal chef, and airport transportation are
offered, and the concierge is always ready to attend
to reservations for charters, meals and unique island
experiences. The entire Preserve, the Beach Club,
spa, cliffside restaurant and pools are all reserved for
the exclusive use of Owners and their guests. And
for outdoor lovers there is biking, hiking, diving,
snorkeling, guided day trips – everything to make life
in this tropical idyll a vision of paradise, perfected.

For more than a decade, the Timbers Resorts mission has stayed the same: to create special places to return to time and time again to get back to what is most important; spending time with family and friends. Comfortably casual. Unique. Authentic. Fun. Places where luxury is without pretense. �e thoughtful design of our hotels and residences makes them perfect for private times, while our gathering areas are lively and rich with inviting amenities. Architecture and landscapes are appropriate, but always with a surprise or two.
Our vision is a promise… of paradise perfected. It is a far-reaching and encompassing philosophy, and a concept as deceptively simple in plan as it is di�cult to execute and sustain. A spectacular, one-of-a-kind destination; a resort that is intimate in scale; and a rich and diverse lifestyle experience.
�e Preserve at Botany Bay is a protected, 397-acre enclave at the secluded West End of St. �omas. In this private and pristine setting, where the tiny islands of Salt Cay reach out to the sea, you’ll discover an intimate and luxurious resort. Botany Bay o�ers some of the largest estate homesites in the Caribbean to build your dream home, as well as completed villas that are available turnkey or for you to �nish and furnish as you wish. Services and amenities include a Beach House with a Junior Olympic pool at the water’s edge; three private coves for swimming, sur�ng and relaxing on the sand; a gatehouse sta�ed around the clock and dedicated concierge service for your every need.
Idyllic Homesites
Estate Lots �e Estate Lots at Botany Bay are a Caribbean treasure, each a study in serenity and seclusion. �ese are extraordinary properties... �rst, because of their size, from nearly three to more than fourteen acres, but also because of their views. We invite you to see for yourself; the most spectacular Estate Homesites in all of the islands.
Among the most exclusive ownership o�erings in all of the Virgin Islands, Botany Bay’s Idyllic Homesites truly are the gems of the Caribbean. �e Estate Lots, Hillside Homesites and Sandy Bay Lots o�er three distinctive opportunities to design and create your dream home whether perched on a promontory or by the water’s edge.
Hillside Homesites Overlooking two half moon beaches, with waves gently lapping at the shore, where a steel drum �oats on the breeze – there may be no better place to watch the sun slowly slip below the horizon than from the Hillside Homesites. Ranging from one to more than two acres in size, they are spacious, private, and convenient to the beach and amenities.
Sandy Bay Lots Just steps away from a crescent beach, considered to be among the very best beaches in the USVI, these spectacular homesites are within close reach of the amenities, and yet, supremely private. �ese waterfront sites along the path to Mermaid’s Chair range up to two acres, and one visit will forever make this a �tting description of your home here.
