With majestic mountain ranges, dazzling coastlines and the breath-taking Anegada Barrier Reef, it’s little wonder these islands need a total of 21 national parks to protect their stunning natural beauty.
The British Virgin Islands are full of warm-hearted locals who offer true Caribbean hospitality.
The capital of Tortola is the largest of all the islands and offers a vibrant and exciting nightlife, coupled with everything you imagine from a perfect luxury trip. If you’re looking for white-sand beaches, scenic hiking and an array of watersports to enjoy - then the British Virgin Islands are the ideal location.
Water sports are really popular on the island and the 60 islands that make up the BVI are renowned for being some of the world’s sailing hotspots. The best sailing conditions are from November to May, but you will find amazing water play all year round including incredible diving and snorkelling.
If you’re a foodie, you can expect a treat for the taste buds when you visit the British Virgin Islands. Fish and seafood is a must and signature rum cocktails are sprinkled on every menu. In October, enjoy the Barefoot Gourmet Soirée which offers a quintessential fine dining experience upon tranquil, azure shores. In November, enjoy the lobster festival at Anegada which is a celebration of the local delicacy.
Or spend days relaxing in the peaceful environs of Guana Island; 850 blissful acres accommodating just 42 guests, featuring almost deserted white sand beaches and renowned for its organic orchard that supplies many of the ingredients for the delectable cuisine.
If you’re after an elite, luxury experience and truly want a holiday that will never be forgotten, Necker Island is a private playground made for those who want to indulge in pure decadence.
At Inspiring Travel, we can help you create your dream holiday which will be entirely bespoke. We understand your needs fully and are able to offer our expertise on the most exclusive luxury locations for holidays that will live in your memory forever.
