About the British Virgin Islands

he British Virgin Islands are made up of about 50 islands and cays and two main islands, Virgin Gorda and Tortola.

Life here is slow and friendly. As soon as you arrive you’ll start to relax. You really are at an out-of-the-way location here, free to really forget the cares you’ve left behind. It is the sea, the sailing, the diving, and the uncanny beauty of the beaches and shores that attract visitors to the islands. No hotels reach much higher than two stories—about the height of the tallest palm tree. The islands are home to no casinos, no large nightclubs, and, for that matter, no large towns.

The islands offer a rich landscape of colour; coastlines of white sand and palm trees; an unspoilt playground for pelicans, booby birds and terns; some of the friendliest faces in the Caribbean; a wide variety of local and international cuisine; abundant watersports facilities; a balmy sub-tropical climate moderated by soft gentle breezes and unspoilt surroundings for those people who wish to relax away from the crowds.
