Luxury British Virgin Islands Holidays

It’s no wonder the British Virgin Islands are said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, Treasure Island, and a few of its 60-plus isles (most of which are uninhabited) are named after Caribbean pirates. While you might not find any buried treasure on a British Virgin Island holiday, the views are pure gold.

There’s no limit to how you can enjoy a luxury holiday in this exotic idyll, from snorkelling among green turtles and eagle rays to mixing primeval jungle walks with five-star relaxation on pearl-white beaches. British Virgin Island holidays are chock-full of ‘wow moments’, including diving Horseshoe Reef, one of the largest barrier reefs in the Caribbean and an underwater world where sunken ships and vibrant coral jostle for space. Elsewhere, The Baths National Park is a land where gargantuan granite boulders reign supreme, while the legendary Soggy Dollar Bar is a rum shack you typically reach by swimming to it – where else can you do that?

With its past as a pirate’s pit stop, it’s no surprise the British Virgin Islands are one of the globe’s premier sailing spots. Its calm ripples, soft breezes, and well-equipped marinas make a week on the water a thoroughly relaxing way to island-hop around its best bits, soaking up every inch of these gorgeous emerald drops – arguably the finest in the Seven Seas.
