The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos helps travelers from Mud Bay, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John, with villas at the Westin St John Resort rented by the week and a local team ready to answer questions before you book.

Mud Bay sits in a northern state where winters are long and cold, so a week of warm water, bright sand and time in the sea can feel like a real change of season. Many travelers from this part of Alaska find that the contrast is exactly the point of the trip. St John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and its calm bays suit people who want to spend their days in the water with a mask and fins. Your stay can be built around the rhythm you enjoy most. Some travelers like slow mornings on a villa terrace followed by an afternoon at the shoreline, while others prefer to plan a snorkeling outing early and rest later. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you room to set that pace yourself, with space to store gear, rinse equipment and cook a simple meal when you return from the water.

Getting from Mud Bay to St John

  1. Reaching the island. Most visitors reach St John by flying to St. Thomas, airport code STT, then taking a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Plan this part of the journey with some care, since the ferry is the final link to the island. Allow yourself a relaxed arrival so the transfer does not feel rushed at the end of a long day of travel.
  2. Choosing your timing. Leaving a cold Alaskan winter for the islands can be a welcome decision at almost any point in the year. Think about which weeks suit your work, school and family commitments, and whether you want the trip close to a holiday or set apart from one. Ask the St John Condos team which weeks tend to suit snorkeling and beach days best before you commit.
  3. Planning the stay. Book a villa for the full week so your days can follow the water rather than a checkout time. Note that driving on St John is on the left, which may take a little adjustment for travelers from home. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a rash guard and a dry bag for your phone, and keep your snorkeling plans flexible for changes in wind and surf.

Frequently asked questions

Is a week long enough for snorkeling and beach days on St John?

A week gives you room to snorkel several times, rest on the sand between outings and still have a day to simply sit on the terrace. Many travelers find that a full week lets the pace feel unhurried. If you enjoy the water a great deal, a week will likely leave you wanting one more morning in the sea.

How do villa rentals compare with a hotel room for a beach week?

Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort are rented by the week and give you separate living space, a kitchen for simple breakfasts and room to store snorkel gear. A hotel room can be fine for short stays, but many travelers prefer a villa for a longer trip. The St John Condos team can talk you through which option fits your plans.
