About

Experience the
British Virgin Islands

The 60 islands and cays that make up the British Virgin Islands are full of mystique. These islands with their isolated beaches, mysterious coves and never before seen fauna and flora evoke every desert island fantasy you’ve ever had. Unspoilt and natural, each of the British Virgin Islands has its own unique flavour making it a destination that is ideal for island hopping. With its cooling trade winds and beaches with names like Smuggler’s Cove that hint at the islands’ fascinating past, it is also a mecca for keen sailors.

The Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival is a famous annual event that is very popular with the yachting crowd. Situated between Puerto Rico and St. Kitts, the British Virgin Islands are ready to share their history in their national parks, ruins, and shipwrecks but equally to welcome you to find that solitary hammock nestled between palm trees, to lie back and just be.
