U.S Virgin Islands
St. John
A National Treasure
& Family Favorite
If there’s one place in the U.S. Virgin Islands that holds a permanent spot in our hearts, it’s St. John. It’s the island I’ve visited the most—and it’s become a favorite among my family and close friends for good reason.
St. John offers a rare combination of untouched beauty, laid-back charm, and protected land that makes every visit feel like an escape into a more peaceful, natural world. With two-thirds of the island preserved as Virgin Islands National Park, you won’t find high-rise resorts or cruise crowds here—just lush trails, turquoise bays, and beaches so stunning they almost don’t seem real.

Why We Love St. John
-
Diverse, breathtaking beaches: From the soft white sand of Trunk Bay to the snorkeling spots at Maho Bay and the quiet seclusion of Salt Pond Bay, there’s a beach for every mood.
-
Protected paradise: The national park status means the island is protected from overdevelopment, keeping the landscapes wild and the beaches pristine.
-
Natural and cultural richness: Beyond the beach, you’ll find hiking trails through tropical forests, petroglyphs left by the Taino people, and historic sugar plantation ruins.
-
A true escape: No passport needed for U.S. travelers, but it feels like another world.
Don't Miss St. John's Trunk Bay
Trunk Bay isn’t just a local favorite—it’s nationally recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. With its crystal-clear waters, gentle waves, and underwater snorkeling trail, it’s an iconic St. John experience. Whether you’re swimming, sunbathing, or exploring the coral reef just offshore, Trunk Bay delivers postcard-worthy perfection every time.
Tip: Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for fewer crowds and unforgettable lighting for photos.
