From wealthy independent travellers to celebrities, this British overseas territory has always been a great escape from mundane day-to-day life. Though it is not suitable for people with a shoestring budget, it continues to be one of the topmost destinations in the Caribbeans.
Geographically it is comprised of 4 primary islands – Tortola and Virgin Gorda being the main islands and Anegada and Jost Van Dyke the other two. Billionaires often visit Tortola on their yachts and party like there’s no tomorrow. Diving the shipwrecks and sailing are the top activities to do. Cane Garden Bay and Brewers Bay are probably the best attractions in Tortola Island. On the other hand, Road Town, the capital of BVI, feels quite dull with limited points of interest to explore.
Virgin Gorda Island is famous for its amazing volcanic rock formations. You can explore ‘the baths’ with its sky-high boulder formations or choose to hike to Gorda Peak for a panoramic bird’s-eye view of the entire island. In Anegada, you will instantly feel the calmness in the atmosphere and the slow pace of life compared to the main islands. The flat, desert landscape will make you think that you are in a different world altogether. Jost Van Dyke is the smallest of the fours islands *
There are a few options for hiking and walking too.
