Planning a romantic getaway to St. John

A few practical anchors before you commit to dates:

  • When to go: December-April, those shoulder months give you the sweet spot of great weather without peak-season prices.
  • Peak season (avoid if you can): December-March. Expect higher resort rates and fuller beaches.
  • Hurricane window: June-November. Travel insurance is worth the small extra spend if you're booking in this range.
  • Airport: STT - Cyril E. King Airport (St. Thomas, then ferry): most major US cities have direct routes, which matters for a short romantic getaway.
  • Budget check: plan for about $300-550 per person. That covers accommodations, meals, activities, and a couple of excursions.
  • Language: English.
