The untouched beauty of St. John will leave you breathless...
About St. John
St. John is the smallest of the three main U.S. Virgin Islands and is recognized as one of the most beautiful places in the world. The island is 60% National Park, which means its lush green hills, breathtaking beaches, and turquoise waters are well-protected and in pristine condition, thanks to the National Park Service and dedicated locals.
Located in the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, St. John spans 19.6 square miles and is an unincorporated territory of the United States. The island uses the US Dollar, and US residents do not need a passport to visit! Affectionately named "Love City," the vibrant Caribbean culture, rich history, and warm hospitality make St. John a welcoming and exciting place to visit.
Locals, residents, and visitors alike all agree that once you come to St. John, a little piece of your heart is left behind. It's truly a special place to visit. If you'd like to learn more about the island, click here.
Getting There
You will fly into Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
No passport needed! The USVI is a United States Territory, so you only need your valid ID to visit.
Arrival: The group will be greeted by a personal chauffeur who will drive you from the airport to the ferry dock. Then, enjoy a scenic ferry ride to St. John where a Nurtured Retreat Facilitator will escort you to the villa. To ensure a smooth journey, please book your flight to arrive in St. Thomas no later than 2 PM so all attendees can taxi and ferry together.
Departure: You'll need at least 3 hours to get from St. John to your gate. If you'd like to travel with the group, please book your flights no earlier than 2 PM. Nurtured Retreat facilitators will assist in getting you on the proper ferry to make your flight.
Your taxi and ferry transportation are included in your package. If you choose to arrive or depart at different times, you will be financially responsible for getting yourself to or from the airport, however, we will assist with travel coordination.
We are full service! Flight and travel coordination is available upon request. For more information on traveling to the USVI, click here.
