About St John

The island of St. John is a part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, an archipelago further including the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas on the U.S. side, and Tortola, Jost van Dyke, Virgin Gorda and many other islands on the British side. Acquired in 1917 from the Danish government, St. John is an English-speaking American territory with the same currency as its homeland, the U.S. Dollar. The island is small enough to keep the friendly atmosphere, yet has a downtown center just big enough to make it fun. The hilly terrain helps it receive rainfall from passing clouds and gives a platform for its beautiful views of the turquoise water and neighboring islands, making it the most beautiful island in the Caribbean. No one who visits can fail to be romanced by the loveliness of its scenic charms and the friendliness of its inhabitants.

Nearly two-thirds of the island is protected from development as part of the Virgin Islands National Park, increasing and preserving its exclusivity. Yearly voted as inhabiting “One of The Top Ten Beaches in the World”, the island’s National Park maintains the least populated of the U.S. Virgin Islands additionally harboring its title as "Best for Unspoiled Nature”.

Weather on St. John is perpetual summer. The Virgin Islands do not experience significant seasonal changes; therefore weather and temperatures are fairly consistent year round, reaching highs of 90 degrees and lows of 72 degrees. Dining options are abundant and varied as are the activities. With its high level of affluence, gorgeous scenery, immaculate weather, and limitless luxuries, St. John is a spectacular oasis in the Caribbean.
