The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book a villa at the Westin St John Resort, and many travelers from Flat, Alaska, use that help for a first Caribbean trip. Villa Rentals on St. John are usually booked by the week.
Leaving Flat for the Caribbean for the first time can feel like a big step, and that is a good thing. The warm water, the green hillsides, and the slower pace of the islands are very different from the landscape you know in Alaska. St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book, so you can ask about the island, the resort, and what to expect before you commit to anything. Most of your trip will take place at the Westin St John Resort, where villa rentals give you more room than a standard hotel room and a kitchen for simple meals. Because the climate here stays warm year round, you can plan your days around the beach, a slow walk, or a quiet afternoon on a shaded deck. Bring a light wardrobe, sunscreen, and an open mind about how the island runs.

Your first Caribbean trip from Flat
- Reaching the island. Most visitors fly to St. Thomas, airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there, the passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Keep your travel documents close, and allow a relaxed pace on the day you arrive, since island schedules tend to move more gently than what you may be used to at home.
- Choosing when to go. The Caribbean stays warm through most of the year, so the best time to leave Flat depends more on your budget and your tolerance for crowds than on the weather. Many travelers from colder northern states choose to travel during the darker months at home, when a warm escape feels especially welcome. Ask our team which weeks suit your plans.
- Planning your stay. Villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort are generally booked by the week, which suits a first trip well. Think about how you want to spend your days, whether that is beach time, exploring, or simply resting. Driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, so consider whether you want a rental car or prefer to rely on taxis.

Do I need a passport to visit St. John from Alaska?

Is a villa a good choice for a first trip to the islands?
