The Story of Ruff Resort at Victoria House
Built in the late 18th century, Ruff Resort at Victoria House is a beautifully renovated historic boutique inn in the heart of Frederiksted, with nine unique suites, a ground-floor restaurant, and the lively Ruff Night - Hair of the Dog Bar in its courtyard.
Just steps from beaches, restaurants, bars, shopping, snorkeling, and some of St. Croix’s best diving, it offers a laid-back island experience surrounded by the charm and character of traditional Caribbean life. And with proceeds from Ruff Resort and Ruff Night Bar supporting Ruff Start STX, every visit helps make a difference.
Stay. Relax. Rescue.
The Story Behind Ruff Resort at Victoria House
Ruff Start STX Rescue
The Ruff Resort at Victoria House is part of the Ruff Start STX family, a St. Croix-based rescue dedicated to giving the island’s most vulnerable dogs a second chance. From abandoned and injured dogs to bottle babies, seniors, heartworm-positive and hospice dogs, Ruff Start STX provides the medical care, patience, rehabilitation, and love these dogs need to find their happily ever after. The rescue also works to keep pets in loving homes through free and affordable community clinics, helping create a healthier future for dogs across St. Croix.
where island life begins
Set along the waterfront in historic Frederiksted, Ruff Resort puts you within easy reach of the very best of St. Croix. Spend your days exploring beautiful beaches, diving and snorkeling just steps away, wandering local shops, or discovering the restaurants and bars that give Frederiksted its unmistakable Caribbean character. Then settle in for spectacular sunsets and the easygoing pace of the island’s west coast.
