Bluebeard picked the prime location on the island to construct his castle. A round watchtower was built from which he could see in all directions, approaching ships and ensuing danger. The incredible view from the entire complex, which once overlooked invading ships, now overlooks the harbor which welcomes cruise ships from all over the world. Bluebeard’s no longer offers piracy, but privacy. Bluebeard’s Castle has stood for over 300 years. Set high above the town, this is a National Historic Landmark with a look-out tower built in 1679, once used by Danish soldiers and possibly by the infamous pirate, Bluebeard! The grand pool, fountain, lawns, and tropical gardens combined with the magnificent harbor views make this a truly unique setting. The resort offers an acclaimed restaurant, as well as boutiques and shops. A short drive away on Magens Beach, have fun boating, diving, windsurfing, and more. Enjoy hours of browsing and shopping in Charlotte Amalie, the capital city.
