St John USVI – A One Of A Kind Retreat

St John USVI – A One Of A Kind Retreat

A true gem of the Caribbean, the little island of St John offers a pristine and relaxed experience unlike any other. It’s a paradise that slows the pace of life down so you can enjoy the moment and let the frantic atmosphere of the city wash away with the waves. You won’t find any raging parties or a huge nightlife scene here, St John is more about tranquility and relaxation. However, that’s not to say that there isn’t anything to do, the island offers all kinds of activities and hospitality.

A Little About the Island

The Virgin Islands are an archipelago in the Caribbean Sea and are divided among British, Spanish and US territories. The US Virgin Islands (USVI) consists of 3 main islands and many minor islands and cays. St John is the smallest of the 3 main islands and, with 60% of it’s area being protected as a national park, is a showcase of the natural wonders of the Caribbean.

St John is a fairly remote place and traveling there will take a few steps. First you need to fly into the island of St Thomas, then travel to a city that offers ferry services. Red Hook is a good bet because it offers hourly runs to Cruz Bay in St John. St John consists of 2 main areas, Cruz Bay and Coral Bay, with the national park in between. And keep in mind if you rent a car on the island that you need to a drive on the left, a remnant of when the island was a Danish territory.

Activities and Attractions

There is much to do on the island, but the main attraction are the pristine Caribbean beaches of white sand and turquoise waters. Different beaches are unique and offer a variety of activities like relaxing, paddleboarding or swimming. A great way to enjoy more of what the islands have to offer is to catch a boat charter and go island hopping. Snorkeling, kayaking, and sailing are other great ways to enjoy the stunning waters, with many unique places for an unforgettable experience.

With so much protected land in the park, it would be a mistake not to check out the beautiful natural attractions. The National Park Service hosts guided expeditions, so be sure to pop into their headquarters to set something up!

Although it’s known for its seclusion, St John isn’t lacking in great food or beverages. The island is bursting with beach bars and restaurants. Check out the great tacos and fun experience of Lime Out, or munch on some of the freshest seafood you’ll ever get at The Longboard.

Music is a big part of the local culture. You’ll hear Caribbean staples like the steel drums, island rhythms, rock and roll, and jazz as part of the island’s soundscape. What better entertainment to be the soundtrack of your tropical vacation?
