British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands, known as the BVI’s, are a British Overseas Territory, located in the Caribbean to the east of Puerto Rico and the perfect choice for a Caribbean holiday in a fantastic location..

 The British Virgin Islands are best known for perfect sailing conditions, but they also have more than 100 dive sites well worth an underwater visit. The British Virgin Islands are volcanic outcrops of a vast underwater plateau that stretches for more than 70 miles where the Caribbean meets the Atlantic. This extraordinary setting provides outstanding underwater visibility, healthy coral and a wide variety of exotic dive sites, with air temperatures between 80 and 90 ºF year-round. Countless reefs, towering coral, underwater caves, lava tunnels, canyons, massive boulders and grottoes are strewn across this vast submerged shelf, creating a choice of dive sites that range from shallows for the novice snorkeller to dramatic sea caverns and extraordinary shipwrecks for the experienced scuba diver for the perfect Caribbean holiday.

The Rhone was a 310’ Royal Mail Ship that was dashed against the rocks off Salt Island during an 1867 hurricane. Now a National Park, its remains have become a fascinating underwater habitat for marine life. To explore the mysteries properly, bring snorkelling or diving gear.

Over fifty islands make up this unspoilt Caribbean destination and there is something for everyone's Caribbean holiday. Whether you are looking for a quiet hideaway Caribbean villa, a luxury resort with every facility imaginable, a small, friendly property, bareboat charter or luxury crewed yacht, you will find it in the BVI’s. Stunning powder white beaches, tranquil turquoise waters, fine dining with a Caribbean twist, friendly local entertainment, water sports, diving, sailing, windsurfing and fishing – the British Virgin Islands have it all. No wonder the BVI’s are known as Nature’s Little Secrets ideal for an idyllic Caribbean holiday.
