Airport to The Ritz Carlton, St. Thomas

The Ritz Carlton, St. Thomas sits on Great Bay at the eastern end of the island, roughly 10 miles from Cyril E. King Airport. GrandArrival is the private ground transportation that makes that drive quiet, on time, and unhurried. A black GMC Yukon XL Denali, an owner at the wheel, and a pickup that starts inside the terminal with a sign carrying your name.

The ride

The route from Cyril E. King out to the East End winds along the south side of the island, past Havensight and around the East End ridge. It is the long cross island run, and traffic through Charlotte Amalie sets the pace, so we build honest timing into every pickup.

The black GMC Yukon XL Denali comfortably fits four guests with a full set of checked and carry on bags. Larger parties move to the air conditioned executive van so the whole group rides together.

Every ride includes a live flight watch, a meet and greet inside the terminal with your name on a sign, help with luggage, bottled water in the vehicle, and a direct arrival at The Ritz Carlton. We do not stack strangers into shared vans. Your reservation is private the whole way. For the wider picture of the roads and the island, see our guide to getting around St. Thomas.
