The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps travelers from Russian Mission, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at villas near the Westin St John Resort on St. John in the US Virgin Islands. Our local team answers questions before you book.
Russian Mission sits in the western part of Alaska, a long way from warm water, so a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John is a real change of scenery. The island is a small, green place in the US Virgin Islands where the sea is clear and the days are warm year round. For many travelers from a cold northern state, that contrast is the whole point of the trip. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a home base with room to spread out after a morning in the water. Villas are rented by the week, which suits a longer stay built around slow mornings, shore walks and time with a mask on. Our team can talk through what fits your group before anything is booked.

Getting from Russian Mission to St. John
- Reaching the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there the passenger ferry runs to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan your connections with care, since travel from western Alaska usually involves more than one flight, and let your arrival day leave room for a relaxed transfer.
- Picking your season. Alaska winters are long and dark, so many travelers from Russian Mission choose to leave during the colder months at home. The islands stay warm through the year, so the best window is the one that fits your work, school and budget. Think about how much time you want in the water and how much rest you need before you travel.
- Planning the week. Rent a Villa Rentals unit at the Westin St John Resort for the full stay, and keep the first morning free to adjust to the heat and the time change. Driving on St. John is on the left, so you may prefer a short plan of beach days with a few trips by taxi. Ask our team to help match the villa to your group before you book.
