The Botany — Where Paradise Is a Way of Life
Opening in 2026 on the secluded western tip of St. Thomas, The Botany is an intimate luxury resort overlooking the meeting point of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Tucked into the lush hillsides overlooking Botany Bay, this property will offer 20 private villas, a world-class spa, two serene pools, and several culinary destinations—from a refined signature restaurant to a barefoot beach bar.
The Botany will be a sanctuary shaped by nature and human connection. The land we call home holds centuries of stories. As stewards of this extraordinary place, we’re building something exceedingly rare and unique.
We’re assembling a team that shares our deep sense of purpose: hospitality as an art of care. Here, every role contributes to a guest’s sense of discovery and belonging. If you believe in thoughtful details, in the luxury of time well spent, and the pursuit of quiet excellence—and if you’re driven to help create something unlike anything else on the island while delivering exceptional results—we invite you to join us.
