The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos rents villas at the Westin St John Resort for travelers from Allakaket, AK, who want a week of snorkeling and easy beach days, and the local team is glad to answer questions before you book.

Allakaket sits in the interior of Alaska, a long way from warm water, so a week of snorkeling on a Caribbean island is a real change of scenery. The northern winters here are long and cold, and many people who live in this part of the state look for a stretch of mild sun and clear sea to recharge. St John, in the US Virgin Islands, offers exactly that kind of break, with calm water and soft sand close to the villa. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a home base that suits a slower pace. You can start the morning with coffee on a private terrace, head down to the water with your mask and fins, and come back for lunch whenever you like. The rhythm is yours to set, which is often what travelers from smaller northern communities want most from a trip like this.

Planning your week from Allakaket

  1. Reaching St John. Most visitors fly into St Thomas, STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook, where a passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St John. Travelers from Allakaket usually connect through larger Alaska hubs before making the long trip south. Plan your connections with patience, pack your snorkel gear in your carry-on if you can, and keep a copy of your villa details handy.
  2. Choosing your season. The Virgin Islands stay warm through most of the year, so the best time to go is really about your own calendar. Many travelers from Alaska prefer to leave in the depths of winter, when the sun is scarce at home and the water on the island is inviting. Talk through the options with the St John Condos team before settling on dates.
  3. Setting up the stay. Villas at this resort are rented by the week, which suits a snorkeling holiday well. Think about how you want your days to flow: a morning on the beach, an afternoon of exploring the reef, and quiet evenings on the terrace. Remember that driving on St John is on the left side of the road, so plan any outings with that in mind.

Do I need special gear to snorkel at St John?

Bring your own mask, snorkel, and fins if you have them, since they make the first morning in the water much more comfortable. Rash guards help with sun protection. If you would rather not travel with equipment, ask the St John Condos team what is easiest to arrange before you arrive.

Is a villa rental a good fit for a family coming from Alaska?
