Hi guys.  I'm looking to go away from a Wednesday night until Sunday night to somewhere with a beach and nice weather. I would like to book my flight with British Airways avios, pay for my hotel with spg points and have kosher food (and minyan if possible) nearby for shabbos. What are my options? Thanks in advance!

Not really. Come to think of it, I'm not sure there's much you do there in the winter.

I was thinking about that, but is there any exotic location or somewhere a bit different available as an option?

Yes, I think that they may have their davening/minyanim at a hotel, as well. The Ritz and Elysian are .4 mi away.
We were there for a 6 day vacation before Chabad was there. And, then again later via cruises. Great hotel selection. Also St. John (SPG/Westin) is an option for real seclusion.

Here is their walkable hotels link: http://www.jewishvirginislands.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/291285/jewish/Resorts-Hotels.htm
