Hotels in Saint John

Two-thirds of this small island is protected as Virgin Islands National Park, a fact that defines its character. The main draw is the staggering clarity of its water and the pristine, white-sand beaches like Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay, which are considered some of the finest in the Caribbean. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, centered around the charming Cruz Bay with its colorful shops and open-air restaurants. You'll spend your days snorkeling the underwater trail at Trunk Bay, hiking to historic plantation ruins like Annaberg, or simply finding your own quiet cove.

Saint John is ideal for couples, nature-loving solo travelers, and families seeking an unplugged, outdoors-focused vacation. There are no airports; you'll fly into St. Thomas and take a 20-minute ferry to Cruz Bay, which is also the hub for taxis and rental jeeps. Staying in Cruz Bay offers walkable convenience to dining and ferries, while choosing a villa or resort in areas like Coral Bay or Chocolate Hole provides more seclusion and stunning hillside views.

Accommodation is dominated by upscale resorts, private villas, and a handful of intimate boutique hotels. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the eco-conscious Concordia Eco Resort, with its treetop studios overlooking Salt Pond Bay, or the Gallows Point Resort, offering luxe suites right on the water's edge at Cruz Bay.
