The 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Has a Cover Resort

Where: North Shore Rd, St. John, Virgin Islands, U.S.

Turns out Caneel Resort shared the spotlight with Marisa Miller on the cover of Sports Illustrated's 2008 Swimsuit Issue, released today. Fashion photographer Raphael Mazzucco shot the cover back in October of 2007 when he and a bevvy of swimsuit models shacked up in Cottage #7 -- the original quarters of founder Laurence Rockefeller and still the resort's most requested accommodation -- for a twelve day shoot.

The St. John, U.S.V.I., which already boasts seven white-sand beaches, and Rockefeller roots, can now claim to be a SI cover resort.

Over on Jaunted, they have details on all the 2008 SI swimsuit shoot locations, mapped of course.
