The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos can help travelers from Arctic Village, Alaska, plan a first trip to the Caribbean, with villas at the Westin St John Resort rented by the week and a local team ready to answer questions before you book.

Arctic Village sits in the far north of Alaska, where winters are long and cold and the landscape is wide, quiet, and often covered in snow for much of the year. If you have never been to the Caribbean, the contrast can feel large. The air is warm and humid, the water is clear and blue, and the pace of daily life tends to slow down in a way that many first-time visitors find surprising and welcome. Planning a first trip from so far north takes a little extra thought, but it is manageable. Most visitors reach St. John by flying to St. Thomas, then taking a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. A villa at the Westin St John Resort gives you a home base with room to spread out, and Villa Rentals are booked by the week, which suits a trip that deserves some unhurried time.

Everything here is meant to save you time.

Your first Caribbean trip from Arctic Village

  1. Getting to St. John. Most travelers from Arctic Village fly to St. Thomas, which is the usual gateway to the islands. From the airport, you take a taxi to Red Hook and board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Pack with the ferry and the taxi in mind, and keep your bags manageable so the transfer stays easy and relaxed after a long journey.
  2. Choosing when to leave. Think about the season you are leaving behind in Alaska. Winter darkness and cold make a warm island trip especially appealing, though many travelers also enjoy the calmer months of the year in the Caribbean. Pick dates that suit your schedule, and talk through options with the St John Condos team before you commit to anything.
  3. Planning the stay. A week or longer gives you time to settle in, rest, and explore without rushing. Keep in mind that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, which takes a little getting used to. Ask the St John Condos team which villa layout fits your group, and let them help you plan the details before you book.
