A scattering of over 50 islands, the British Virgin Islands tick along at a laid-back, Caribbean pace. Most of the islands are uninhabited, sheltering secluded coves, untouched forests and flourishing reefs. Our specialists have explored this archipelago, searching for the best experiences as well as seeking out characterful accommodation. Trip ideas we might suggest include a stay on a private island resort, visiting nearby dive spots or picnicking on your own private sandbank. With other Caribbean countries a short hop away, combining the British Virgin Islands with other destinations will give you a real sense of the region.
