The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from Shishmaref, Alaska, plan a week of exploring the island from a villa at the Westin St John Resort. Their local team answers questions before you book.
Shishmaref sits on a small barrier island off the northwest coast of Alaska, in the far West of the country. Life there moves with the water, the weather, and the seasons, so a trip to a warm Caribbean island can feel like a very different world. Many travelers from here are looking for a quiet change of scenery and a stretch of time that belongs entirely to them. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and the Westin St John Resort offers villas that you can rent by the week. A week gives you room to slow down, swim, walk the trails, and sit on a lanai without rushing from one stop to the next. Villa Rentals at the resort are a practical way to settle in for the whole stay.
Everything here is meant to save you time.

Getting from Shishmaref to St. John
- Reach the Islands. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, the airport code is STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a few connections from Alaska with enough room to rest, since the trip is long and it helps to arrive relaxed and ready for your week.
- Pick Your Season. Alaska winters are cold and dark, so many travelers from Shishmaref choose the islands during the colder months at home. Warm weather and calm seas are common year round in the Virgin Islands, but the season you pick shapes what you pack and how busy the island feels. Talk through your preferred timing with the team before you commit.
- Plan Your Villa Stay. Book your Villa Rentals through St John Condos and settle on a week that suits your pace. Consider whether you want to drive yourself, remembering that driving on St. John is on the left, or rely on local transport. Ask questions about the villa, the resort, and the ferry ahead of time so the first day feels easy.
Frequently asked questions
Is a week long enough to explore St. John?
For most travelers, a week gives a good balance of relaxed mornings, swimming, and short outings across the island. You will have time to return to favorite spots without feeling pressed. A week also suits the rhythm of a villa stay, where you can cook, rest, and enjoy the view as much as you explore.
Do I need a car on St. John?
Many visitors rent a car, but it is not the only option. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, which takes a little getting used to. The St John Condos team can talk through what works best for your week before you book your villa.
