The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos helps travelers from Port Alsworth, Alaska, plan a winter escape from the cold to villas at the Westin St John Resort on St. John in the US Virgin Islands. Our local team answers questions before you book.

Winters in Port Alsworth bring long stretches of cold, dark days, and many travelers who live there start to dream of somewhere warmer by the time the snow piles up. St John is a small island in the Caribbean, where the air stays warm through the months when Alaska is at its coldest. For a traveler looking for a true change of scenery, it offers sun, sea breezes, and a slower pace that feels far from the frozen landscape at home. Staying in a villa rather than a standard hotel room gives you more room to settle in. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort are rented by the week, so you can unpack, cook a few meals, and treat the island as a place to rest rather than a place to rush through. Our team at St John Condos can talk you through what to expect before you commit, so the trip you picture is the trip you get.

Planning a winter escape from Port Alsworth

  1. Getting to the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which has 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. Because the connections involve several legs, many travelers from Alaska find it helpful to plan a little extra slack into their itinerary and to keep their documents close at hand for the journey.
  2. Choosing the right time. Think about when you most need the warmth. The deepest part of an Alaska winter is often the hardest to endure, so some travelers prefer to leave as soon as the cold feels overwhelming, while others want to be on the island during the months when the weather in Port Alsworth is most unpredictable. Consider your own tolerance for heat, your work commitments, and how much time you want to spend simply enjoying the sea.
  3. Settling into your stay. Once you arrive, a villa gives you space to set your own rhythm. Keep in mind that driving on St. John is on the left, which may take some getting used to if you are coming from a country that drives on the right. Plan a few easy days at first, and let the island's slower pace do the work of helping you leave the winter behind.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to rent a car on St. John?

Many visitors find that a car makes it easier to explore the island at their own pace, though it is not always required if you prefer to stay close to your villa. Remember that driving is on the left. Our team can share practical notes about getting around before you book so you can choose what suits your plans.

Is a villa a good choice for a winter escape from Alaska?

For many travelers from cold places, a villa feels more like a home base than a hotel, with room to cook, relax, and spread out. Villa Rentals are booked by the week, which suits a longer break from the cold. If you have questions about the layout or what is included, our team at St John Condos is glad to answer them first.
