The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from Whittier, Alaska, plan a beach trip to the Westin St John Resort, and they answer questions before you book your villa.
Whittier sits on the edge of Prince William Sound in the far south of Alaska, where winters are long and cold and the shoreline is mostly rock and gray water. For many people who live there, a trip built around the beach is a deliberate change of scenery, a chance to trade cold surf for warm sand and clear Caribbean water. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and the Westin St John Resort offers a quiet base on its shore. Many visitors choose Villa Rentals so they can settle in for a full week, cook a few meals, and let the days follow the tide instead of a rigid schedule.

Getting from Whittier to St. John
- Reach the Virgin Islands. Most visitors from Alaska fly to St. Thomas, which uses the airport code STT. From there, plan on a taxi ride to Red Hook, then board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Bring your luggage plan with you, since the ferry is the main link to the island and you will want everything packed simply.
- Pick the season for leaving. Alaska winters are harsh, so many travelers from Whittier find the cold months the most welcome time to head south. The Virgin Islands stay warm through much of the year, so you can aim for a stretch when the flights suit your schedule and your job. Think about what you want the beach to feel like, whether that means a quiet week or a livelier stay.
- Plan the stay in a villa. A villa rented by the week gives you room to spread out, a kitchen for simple breakfasts, and a slower rhythm than a hotel room allows. Before you book, check how many guests the villa sleeps and what is included. St John Condos can walk you through the options and answer questions so the stay fits your plans. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, so take that into account when you get behind the wheel.
