Nestled in the glimmering azure of the balmy Caribbean Sea, the lush sanctuaries of the British Virgin Islands are brimming with breath-taking landscapes, dazzling beaches and enriched by bounteous waters teaming with vivid marine life. Whether travellers come to indulge in high-octane adventures or to delve into sumptuous luxury, BVI offers it all.
The British Virgin Islands, known affectionately as BVI, is one of the world’s most captivating and opulent destinations and has long been considered a first-class vacation hot spot. Home to a lush scattering of fantastic outer isles and verdant main islands of glittering beach, crystal-clear water and luscious greenery, BVI is also centred in one of the most spectacular cruising areas in the Caribbean Sea.
Described by many as a paradise waiting to be discovered, BVI, unlike their tourist-rich US cousins, enjoys the sumptuous benefits of intimate luxury resorts, long stretches of deserted white sands and a small and friendly native population whose generous hospitality only serves to increase the seductive allure of these forgotten isles.
Tortola
Tortola is BVI’s gateway island and is a vibrant mixture of soaring, jungle-thick mountain peaks, bustling towns and resplendent coastlines that are home to 80% of the population of the entire Virgin Islands, which isn’t nearly as much as it sounds, just under 24,000 people in total.
Virgin Gorda
The Baths on Virgin Gorda, ethereal giant granite rock formations with intriguing grottoes for snorkelers and divers, entice hikers from around the world to traverse their mass.
Jost Van Dyke
Jost Van Dyke, despite its diminutive proportion, offers an upbeat and over-the-escape with minimal modern development and an overwhelming spirit of welcome.
Water Exploration
Boasting an illustrious maritime history founded centuries ago, BVI has retained its reputation as a revered sailing destination for discerning travellers looking to revel in the pulsing nightlife, premier cuisine, charming fishing villages, radiant beaches and sublime island diving.
Watersports
The crystalline waters that surround the islands provide excellent opportunities for an array of water sports such as swimming, parasailing, water skiing, wake boarding, kite surfing and world-class diving and snorkelling.
Diving
The collection of outer islands, isles and cays are perfect for those wanting to island-hop or locate a deserted beach all their own. A cruise through the rich waters of BVI will lead to some of the world’s most exciting dive sites, including the Caribbean’s most famous diving site, the wreck of the HMS Rhone lying just off of Salt Island.
