Eco Serendib Villa and Spa Offers Uber-Deluxe Girlfriends Getaway

Eco Serendib Villa and Spa, an uber-luxury, eco-friendly private retreat on St. John, has introduced a bespoke five-night “Serendipitous Escape” for up to six gal pals, offering opulent accommodations, tantalizing cuisine, pampering and good times – all while giving back to the community. Whether looking to catch up with girlfriends, reminisce with female family, celebrate a birthday or other milestone event – there are no shortages of opportunities for bonding and creating memories to last a lifetime. The group luxuriates in spectacular tropical surroundings as the sole guests of Eco Serendib, enjoying their private oasis while being catered to by a dedicated staff.

Guests are met at the ferry and whisked to the private villa, where their chosen ‘theme song' is playing – whether that is “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” “Single Ladies,” “This One's For the Girls,” “We Are Family” or another favorite, setting the stage for the exciting journey to come. The ladies enjoy Eco Serendib's signature welcome with refreshing cold towels, freshly brewed lemongrass iced tea, Champagne and hors d'oeuvres. The five-night package also features:
