Experience the Emerald Isle at Westin St. John

Let your cares be blown away on the island breeze at the Westin St. John in the US Virgin Islands. The smallest of the developed islands and home to the Virgin Islands National Park, this resort is set among the lush, green hills of the Emerald Isle.

St. John boasts 31 of the most beautiful beaches in the world, each with something unique to offer. Submerge yourself, armed with tank and flippers, in tranquil waters at Westin St. John's Cruz Bay. Let the warm breezes propel you as you set sail, or zip around the bay in a rental powerboat. Wander over to the nearby Trunk Bay to snorkel the underwater trail or indulge your inner history buff at Cinnamon Bay, home to a prehistoric archaeological site. And you can let the kids party the day away at Westin's Kids Club while you travel over hill and dale.

Shore-dwellers make a splash at Westin St. John's beautiful quarter-acre, freshwater pool, with a fiber-optic, underwater-light show or judge the kids' cannonball contest from one of the two nearby Jacuzzis.

Swap waves for plush greens at Mahogany Run Golf Course. Not only is the course a challenging par-70, but it offers one of the best views in all of the Caribbean. The 14th hole is perched on a cliff 200 feet above a rocky inlet of the Atlantic, where tendrils of aqua slink through the deep-blue sea. Good luck making the hole's par 3 with a view like that!

Westin St. John has many more options to suit everyone; find your bliss with a morning yoga class, pump iron at the state-of-the-art fitness center or grab one of the six tennis courts for a quick match. And if the day's adventures fill up all your daylight hours, have no fear. The courts are lit for all those after-dark match points, so enjoy watching the tangerine-tinged sunset. When you retire to your room, don't forget that Westin's Heavenly Bed is waiting to offer the sweetest dreams about the joys of another day of vacation.
