Sales tax, local lodging taxes and any resort fee are added at checkout.

Virginia Resort Prices: What the Data Shows
Expedia’s Virginia resort page listed 186 resorts and a price range of $105 to $757 per night. The page showed no monthly trend, and it does not say how the range was calculated, so treat it as the spread of listed prices on the day we checked, not an average. Resorts here include beach resorts in Virginia Beach, historic-area resorts around Williamsburg and mountain resorts in the Blue Ridge.
Virginia Resort Prices by Destination
KAYAK’s resort pages showed these figures in late October 2026. KAYAK averages weeknight (Sunday to Thursday) and weekend (Friday and Saturday) prices over the last two weeks and shows month and day figures from the last 12 months of searches. The pages change often and contradict themselves in places, so treat them as a guide.
| Destination (KAYAK resorts) | Overall average | Weeknight / weekend (2 weeks) | Cheapest and priciest month | Cheapest and priciest day | Booking window |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virginia Beach | $230 | $158 / $211 | November $118 / July $310 | Tuesday $141 / Saturday $213 | At least 27 days ahead |
| Williamsburg | $168 | $155 / $219 | March $134 / July $207 | Monday $133 / Friday $247 | At least 64 days ahead |
The Virginia Beach page named different cheapest and priciest months in different sections (December and August in one table, November and July in another), and its $230 overall average is higher than both its weeknight and weekend averages. The Williamsburg page likewise named January and May in one place and March and July in another. Read the table as a rough seasonal pattern, with summer and Fridays or Saturdays costing more, rather than exact prices. Our Virginia Beach hotel price guide covers more room types.
What Changes Resort Prices in Virginia?
- Season: Summer beach season pushes Virginia Beach rates up, and KAYAK showed July as the priciest month for Williamsburg resorts too.
- Day of the week: Weekend averages ran higher than weeknight averages in both KAYAK samples.
- Destination: Beach, historic-area and mountain resorts price differently.
- Fees: Some resorts charge a resort fee or separate parking. Amounts vary, so check the total.
Taxes and Fees on Virginia Resort Stays
Airbnb’s Virginia occupancy-tax page lists a state sales tax range of 5.30% to 7.00% for short-term stays and says local lodging taxes vary by city and county, without giving specific rates. Those figures apply to short-term lodging in general, so a resort can see similar charges, but confirm the total at checkout. See our hotel occupancy tax by state guide and our explainer on resort fees.
Since May 2025 the Federal Trade Commission’s fee rule requires covered short-term lodging businesses to show the total price, including mandatory fees, when they advertise a price.
How to Save on a Virginia Resort
- Stay Sunday to Thursday where you can, since weeknight averages were well below weekend averages on both KAYAK pages.
- Look at shoulder months. KAYAK listed November as Virginia Beach’s cheapest month and March as Williamsburg’s.
- Compare the final total, including taxes and any resort fee, across two booking sites and the resort’s own site.
- Check what the rate includes, such as parking, breakfast, a kitchen or pool access, before comparing prices.
- KAYAK advised booking Virginia Beach resorts at least 27 days ahead and Williamsburg resorts at least 64 days ahead. Book a refundable room, then recheck the price later.
Sample Budgets for a Short Stay
