Ready to "just let go" and indulge in fun? The excitement and adventure of the tropics awaits at TradeWinds Resort. After breakfast , or fresh coffee on a peaceful patio overlooking the sea, jump into a paddle boat for a self-guided tour along our winding waterway, jog along miles of white sand beach, parasail over the ocean, watch dolphins on a sunset sailing cruise, join an aerobics class or beach volleyball game, or bubble in a hot tub after a relaxing massage.

Whether you're in the mood for group recreation, some quiet time to relax, family activities, a round of golf or set of tennis, TradeWinds Resort has the best recipes for island fun, adventure, and relaxation. Smear on some neon paint for glow-in-the-dark volleyball, enjoy a night of laughter at a family dive-in movie by the pool, or sing along to swashbuckling tunes with Redbeard the Pirate.
