Looking for somewhere to escape together? Whether it's your honeymoon, an anniversary, a romantic getaway or simply a few days away just because, St. John might be exactly what you're looking for.

Think warm Caribbean water, beautiful beaches, snorkeling, hiking and long afternoons with nowhere you need to be.

Here are a few ideas for making those five days count.

Day 1: Arrive & Exhale

Leave Cruz Bay behind and take the scenic drive east. Stop at the overlooks, take your first photos and watch St. John get quieter as you head toward Coral Bay and the East End.

Stay somewhere secluded, with an incredible ocean view and a pool waiting for you when you arrive. Order provisions ahead of time so there's no reason to head back out once you've settled in.

Drop the bags, pour something cold and get into the pool.

Tonight doesn't need an itinerary.

You made it.

Day 2: The Quieter Side of St. John

Wake up early enough to catch the sunrise.

Roll out the yoga mats on the deck and start the day with a few sun salutations, or skip the yoga entirely and make coffee. Nobody is keeping score.

Listen to the waves below. Watch the occasional boat pass in the distance. Read a few chapters of the book you brought. Have a long conversation. Or just stare at the horizon for a while.

Later in the afternoon, venture out to explore St. John's quieter East End. Head to Hansen Bay or Haulover Bay for a swim and snorkel, away from the busier beaches of the North Shore.

Then head home.

There is no dinner reservation you have to rush back for tonight. Grill something at the villa, put on your favorite music and watch the light disappear over the water.

Day 3: Beaches. All Day.

Today, go exploring.

Pack lunch and drinks into the cooler, grab the beach bag, towels, chairs and snorkeling gear, and head for St. John's famous North Shore.

Beach-hop between Maho, Francis, Hawksnest, Cinnamon and Trunk Bay, or find the one you love and stay all day.

Swim. Snorkel. Float. Eat lunch with your feet in the sand. Keep an eye out for sea turtles.

As the afternoon winds down, trade the beach for one more view. Stop at The Windmill Bar for a sunset drink and one of the island's great views, then head across the road to Shambles for a casual dinner and good music.

Don't stay out too late.

Tomorrow is your adventure day.

Day 4: Adventure by Day. Cruz Bay by Night.

Start early and head for Salt Pond Bay.

Hike Ram Head before the heat of the day settles in. The trail follows the coastline before rewarding you with sweeping views across the Caribbean.

After the hike, cool off with a swim and snorkel at Salt Pond Bay.

By now you've earned lunch. Stop at Surf Club Cantina in Coral Bay before heading back to your villa.

Then cancel the rest of your afternoon.

Pool. Lounger. Book. Nap.

Whatever qualifies as R&R for you.

Later, trade the quiet East End for a night in Cruz Bay. If neither of you feels like driving, get a private transfer and simply enjoy the evening.

For dinner, try something a little different, like STJ Speakeasy, or choose a longtime island favorite, Morgan's Mango.

Walk around Cruz Bay afterward. Browse a few shops. Get ice cream.

Put the phones away for a while. The emails can wait.

Enjoy the evening and each other's company.

Day 5: Nowhere Else to Be

By now, coffee on the deck has become your morning ritual.

You know where the mugs are. You know where you like to sit. And you've stopped feeling the need to decide what you're doing next.

Keep it that way.

Finish that book. Work on your tan. Take another picture of that view.

Or grab the snorkeling gear and head down to the shoreline. Feeling adventurous? Pack a picnic, load up the kayak and explore the coastline from the water.

Stay out for an hour. Stay out for the afternoon.

Before dinner, take a walk along the quiet coastal road. Listen to the waves and take in the view.

Then come home.

Put on your favorite music. Make dinner together. Open a bottle of wine and sit outside for one last evening at the edge of St. John.

Tomorrow, you go back to reality.

Tonight, don't rush it.

Make Five Days Yours

Maybe it's the beaches you'll remember. The view from Ram Head. The sea turtle you spotted while snorkeling.

Or maybe it's something much simpler.

Coffee on the deck. An afternoon by the pool. Dinner outside with your favorite music playing. Five days when neither of you had anywhere else to be.

Eco Haute is a private oceanfront villa for two on St. John's quiet East End, created for exactly this kind of escape.

Honeymoon. Anniversary. Romantic getaway. Or a few days away just because.

You don't really need a reason.
