British Virgin Islands

One of the classic Caribbean luxury vacation locations is the British Virgin Islands (BVI for short). The BVIs is one of the best places in the world to find luxury resorts, exclusive private islands for rent and magnificent villas.

The British Virgin Islands consist of the main islands of Tortola (the largest), Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke, along with around 50 volcanic islands, islets and cays that provide beautiful relaxation for vacationers in exclusive resorts, villas and private islands.

Around fifteen of the islands are officially inhabited. The British Virgin Islands make up part of the Virgin Islands archipelago, the remaining islands constituting the U.S. Virgin Islands. Some of the other Islands scattered about the place include Jost Van Dyke, Great Camanoe, Norman, Peter, Salt, Cooper, Ginger, Dead Chest, and Anegada.

The BVI are beautiful and seductive but also relaxed and serene. While on holiday in the British Virgin Islands you will also find gentle sailing, gorgeous snorkeling, and stunning beaches - all mixed up in a relaxed and gentle serenity.  Much of the serenity comes from a landscape where buildings are not allowed to be higher than the palms and an absence of direct flights from major tourist countries. Many of the people on holiday are not from crowded planes but from the sea, either from charter yachts, private yachts or island hoping ferries.

Serene it may be now, but it is not difficult to imagine the colorful cutthroat pirates and buccaneers who once used these islands as a hideaway from which to launch their raids on galleon gold!

Some notable luxury resorts in the area:

- Notable luxury resorts in the BVIs include the famous Necker Island, one of the most exclusive and desirable luxury resorts in the world.
