1500 sq. ft. / 6 Guests
Papaya Villa at The Hills, St John offers 1,500 square feet of private villa living within a gated, condominium-style community set on the hillside above Cruz Bay. Designed for relaxed St. John stays, the villa pairs generous indoor space with Caribbean Sea views and the added appeal of its own private pool, giving up to 6 guests a comfortable base for days between the water, the villa and the wider property. Inside, Papaya Villa is arranged for families or small groups who want the ease of staying together while still enjoying the privacy of a full villa. The verified room details confirm accommodation for up to 6 guests; specific bed types, bedroom count, layout details and bathroom features are not listed for this villa, so guests should book based on the stated capacity and villa category shown here. Complimentary in-room Wi-Fi is included, and The Hills also provides villa guests with beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler for island days. Your stay at The Hills, St John is supported by the property’s villa-style services and shared amenities rather than a traditional all-inclusive package. Guests have access to the community pool overlooking Cruz Bay, the fully equipped fitness center, and The Clubhouse, a private restaurant and bar for guests with seating indoors or on the pool deck. The on-property concierge team can assist with arrivals, pre-stocked kitchens, private chefs, spa treatments, island excursions, childcare, drivers and yacht charters, helping shape a stay that feels personal, flexible and easy from the moment you arrive.
