The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from Kotzebue, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at villas near the Westin St John Resort. Ask us anything before you book.
Kotzebue sits above the Arctic Circle on the Chukchi Sea, where summers are cool and the land is open to the wind. For many people who live there, a week of warm water, bright sand, and clear reefs feels like a completely different world. That contrast is exactly why a Caribbean beach trip can feel so restorative after a long northern winter. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, reached by most visitors through St. Thomas and a short taxi and ferry ride. Villas at the Westin St John Resort are rented by the week, which gives you room to slow down, snorkel in the morning, and rest on the sand in the afternoon. Our Villa Rentals are a good fit for travelers who want space and a steady pace.

Planning Your Week from Kotzebue
- Getting to the islands. Most travelers from Kotzebue connect through larger hubs in Alaska and the lower forty-eight before reaching St. Thomas, then take a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Plan for a long travel day and consider a night's rest on the way. Keep your snorkel gear and sunscreen in your carry-on so they are with you when you land.
- Choosing when to leave. Leaving Kotzebue in the depths of winter can be a relief, since the Caribbean stays warm year round. Many travelers prefer to book a window that suits their work, school, or family plans. Tell us your dates and we will help you think through which weeks fit your schedule and your comfort with rain and wind.
- Planning the stay. Choose a villa close enough to the water that morning snorkeling feels easy. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, so take your time on the roads and consider a rental car or taxis for longer trips. Pack light, plan one or two slow beach days, and leave room for spontaneous swims.
