The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos helps travelers from Ugashik, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John, rented villas at the Westin St John Resort being a natural base for a relaxed island stay. Ask the local team before you book.

Ugashik sits in the far reaches of Alaska, a long way from warm water and white sand. For many travelers from here, a week of snorkeling and lazy beach days on St. John feels like a complete change of pace. The island is a small, green place in the US Virgin Islands, where the days are built around the water rather than around the calendar. Staying in a villa at the Westin St John Resort gives you room to spread out, with a kitchen, separate spaces to rest, and a setting that suits slow mornings with coffee before heading down to the shore. Villa Rentals are typically booked by the week, which fits a trip meant to be unhurried. St John Condos is a local team, and they are glad to talk through what a week like this could look like before you commit.

Everything here is meant to save you time.

Getting from Ugashik to St. John

  1. Reach the islands by air. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which uses airport code STT. From there, a taxi carries you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. Plan your connections from Ugashik with some margin, since travel from a remote part of Alaska often involves more than one flight and a few changes along the way.
  2. Pick the right season. Ugashik experiences cold winters, so many travelers from there look forward to the warm, dry feel of the islands during the colder months at home. Think about when you can leave the state without disrupting work or family plans. Weather on St. John is mild through most of the year, so choose the window that suits your calendar rather than chasing a single perfect season.
  3. Plan the week ahead. Settle on your villa dates first, since Villa Rentals are usually arranged by the week and availability shapes the rest. Then sketch loose plans for snorkeling and beach days, keeping a little room for rest. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, so you may prefer to plan simple routes or arrange transport in advance. Ask St John Condos any questions before you book.

Frequently asked questions

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

Many visitors find a car useful for getting around the island, but you will need to drive on the left. If you would rather not, plan your beach outings in advance and ask the St John Condos team what arrangements suit a week based at the resort.

How should I prepare for a week of snorkeling from Ugashik?

Pack your own mask and comfortable water shoes if you have them, along with sun protection suited to bright tropical conditions. Coming from a cold northern state, you may want to build up your time in the water gradually. The local team can share practical notes before you arrive.
