The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos helps travelers from Salamatof, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at villas near the Westin St John Resort, answering your questions before you book.

Salamatof sits in the far north of the country, where winters are long and cold and the ocean is a thing you visit rather than live beside. For many people here, a week of warm water, clear snorkeling and slow beach mornings is a real change of scenery. The island of St. John, in the US Virgin Islands, offers exactly that, and it is a reachable place for travelers who want a complete break from the cold. A villa is a different kind of trip from a standard hotel room. You get your own kitchen, room to spread out, and a home base between swims. Our Villa Rentals are rented by the week, which suits a traveler who wants to settle in rather than move every night. St John Condos is a local team, and we are glad to talk through what a week on the island could look like before you commit to anything.

Planning your week from Salamatof

  1. Getting to St. John. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT. From there, a taxi carries you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little slack into your schedule, since connections from a distant state can be long and the ferry runs on its own rhythm. Keep your snorkel gear with you rather than in checked bags if you can.
  2. Choosing when to go. Winter in Salamatof is dark and cold, so many travelers from here choose to leave during those months. The islands stay warm year round, which makes the timing less about weather and more about your own calendar. Think about when you can take a full week away from work and family, then compare that window with how you like to spend your days in the water.
  3. Planning your stay. Choose a villa that suits how you plan to spend your days, whether that means a short walk to the sand or a quiet spot for early snorkeling. Ask us about which way the car faces, since driving on St. John is on the left, and bring a plan for getting around the island. Share your dates and group size with our team, and we will help you find a villa that fits the week you have in mind.
