Our Editorial team's advice

In the islands, the cost of living is extremely high. If you are travelling without a travel organisation, prepare to spend £50-150 per day, depending on the accommodation you choose. Travelling during the low tourist season, between April and early December, is a good way of saving money. During this period, hotels half their prices, which is not insignificant. Also, think about buying cosmetics and sunscreen before leaving. Finally, if you are planning on going to St. John island during the tourist season, book in advance, because accommodation options are limited.
