The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from Wales, Alaska, plan a family vacation to villas at the Westin St John Resort on St. John, sorting out the trip before you book. Ask us anything about villa rentals first.
Planning a family trip from a small Alaskan community like Wales means thinking about distance and about keeping everyone comfortable over a longer journey. Wales sits in the western part of the state, where the landscape is remote and the pace of life is quiet. Many families from here find that a warm, slower island holiday feels like a welcome change of scenery for everyone, from the youngest travelers to the grandparents. The island of St. John is in the US Virgin Islands, a long way from Alaska and a very different climate. The Westin St John Resort gives families a base with space to spread out, and villas rented by the week let you cook, unwind, and keep a routine that suits the kids. St John Condos is a local team, so you can talk through the details with people who know the island before you commit to anything.

Your family trip from Wales
- Getting to St. John. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, airport code STT, then taking a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. Plan for a few legs of travel with children in tow, and pack a small bag of essentials you will want on arrival. Once you land, the ferry is a relaxed way to start your holiday.
- Choosing when to leave. Leaving Alaska in the depths of winter means trading snow and cold for warm, sunny days on the islands, which many families find especially appealing. Consider school calendars and your family's routines when picking dates. Think about whether you want a quieter stretch of the year or a busier one, and weigh that against what everyone hopes to get from the trip.
- Planning the family stay. Villa rentals are booked by the week, which suits families who want room to relax without rushing from place to place. Look at how many bedrooms you need, whether a kitchen will help with meals, and how easily the villa suits young children. Driving on St. John is on the left, so consider that if you plan to get around by car.
