The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos can help travelers from Newtok, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John, with villas at the Westin St John Resort rented by the week. Our local team answers questions before you book.

Newtok sits in the western part of Alaska, where winters are long and cold, so a week of warm water and bright sand can feel like a real change of season. Many travelers from here are looking for a trip built around the ocean, with time to float over reefs in the morning and lie on the beach in the afternoon. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and its warm climate makes it a natural fit for snorkeling and slow beach days. The Westin St John Resort offers villa rentals that give you a private base to return to between swims, with room to rest, rinse your gear, and plan the next day.

Getting from Newtok to St. John

  1. Reaching the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which is the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there, a passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan this leg with some slack, since connections from a remote Alaska town can be tight and the last part of the trip involves more than one kind of transport.
  2. Picking your timing. Choose your dates with the seasons in mind. Winter in Newtok is harsh, so many travelers from the area leave during the colder months when a tropical week feels most welcome. Water conditions and crowds shift over the year, so ask our team which weeks suit snorkeling and quiet beach time best.
  3. Planning the stay. Book a villa for the full week so you are not moving around between days of swimming. Bring your own snorkel gear if you have a favorite mask, and remember that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road. A rental car gives you freedom to reach different beaches, so consider one early.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a car to enjoy snorkeling on St. John?

A car makes it much easier to reach different beaches on your own schedule, and that flexibility is useful for snorkeling, since calm water can vary from one bay to the next. Remember that you will be driving on the left. If you prefer to stay close to your villa, you can still have a relaxed week, and our team can tell you more about getting around before you book.

How should I prepare for a week of beach days after living in Alaska?

Pack light, breathable clothing, reef-safe sunscreen, and a rash guard for longer swims. Bring a waterproof bag for your phone and any documents. Many travelers from colder places find they need a day or two to adjust to the heat and sun, so plan a gentle first day. Our local team can answer specific packing questions before you book.
