Planning a family vacation can be stressful. You want to make sure everyone has a good time, and that you’re spending your time and money wisely. We’ve got you covered.
Here are some of the things to consider when planning a family vacation in St John vacation villa:
1- How To Get There?
St. John is a U.S. territory in the Caribbean, lying south of St. Thomas and east of Puerto Rico.
You can get there by plane, or by boat.
If you choose to fly, there are several daily flights from San Juan (about 1 hour) and Charlotte (about 3 hours). If you fly into San Juan, you can book a flight to St. Thomas and then take a ferry over to St. John (about an hour). If you’re traveling with kids, this may be an easier option for them than flying directly into St. John’s airport—and it’ll save you some money in airfare!
If you’re traveling by boat, there are ferries from both Tortola and Virgin Gorda that run about twice per day during the summer months (June-September), with fewer departures in the winter months (November-April).
2- Beach + Water Activities
St Johns has some great beaches, so don’t forget your sunscreen!
The beaches offer many different types of activities: snorkeling, swimming with stingrays or sea turtles (if you’re lucky!), exploring shipwrecks offshore… You’ll find something for everyone here!
3- Land Activities
St John USVI has plenty of options for everyone—from swimming in the ocean or snorkeling in the sea around Virgin Gorda to visiting historic sites like Nelson’s Dockyard or exploring some of the island’s botanical gardens. And if those don’t sound like they’ll keep your whole family entertained? Well… there’s always shopping!
4- Consider Renting A Villa For Your Family
And don’t forget about renting a villa!
These accommodations are great for families because they offer privacy and space to spread out while still feeling like home away from home—plus they provide amenities like full kitchens and laundry facilities that make life easier when traveling with kids.
5- Final Thoughts!
If you’re looking for something relaxing and fun, with plenty of time for kids to play in the sand, then St John is the perfect place for you! We hope this guide has been helpful in planning your trip—we can’t wait to see pictures of all the fun things your kid discovers when they’re exploring St John!
