Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands are more commonly known as the British Virgin Islands, and travellers will discover that this collection of Antilles Islands is surprisingly undeveloped. The Baths national park on Virgin Gorda is one of the primary visitor attractions, located in Spanish Town and the Valley, but it can get quite overrun with tourists and cruise ship or yachting visitors. Cane Garden Bay on Tortola Island is another favourite visitor attraction, offering tourists the benefit of a sheltered, sandy beach, a wide variety of international restaurant choices, live music venues and water sports activities.

The British Virgin Islands make an ideal holiday destination for couples wanting to reinvigorate their romance, families looking for sunny beach holidays, and watersports enthusiasts who want to experience the joys of snorkelling, diving and boating. Adventure travellers won’t be disappointed by island hopping jaunts to explore some of the more deserted islands, while luxury seekers will discover that the exclusive hotels dotted around the islands offer all the pampering, spa and therapy treatments they adore.

The Virgin Islands are a renowned yachting location for millionaires and celebrity jet-setters. Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island resort is located a little to the north of Virgin Gorda and Prickly Pear Islands. Hurricane season is from June to November, and for official government travel advice, you can find it on the government website (insert link https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/british-virgin-islands).
