BVI, the little secret of nature

Located in a water paradise, the British Virgin Islands are known for being the best place to practice sailing sports, diving, snorkelling and fishing in the Caribbean

 

Known as the "little secret of nature" the British Virgin Islands remain a virgin paradise of natural treasures; what the islands do not have is what makes them more attractive to the public, there are no super hotels, there are no casinos and there are not hundreds of tourists everywhere. The purity and natural beauty is its main attraction. From the moment one arrives at the destination, its topography enchants the visitor. Majestic green hillsides, emerging from a blue sea with crystalline beaches and the sky with its multiple tonalities, create a perfect welcome postcard.
More than 60 islands form a distinctive pattern around the Sir Francis Drake Channel, including Tortola, the main island and spine of the canal, Virgin Gorda on the eastern tip, Jost Van Dyke on the west, Anegada the furthest north and in the Atlantic, and a series of smaller islands scattered throughout the southern area. The British Virgin Islands reveal their little secrets in each bay and inlet.
Located in a water paradise, the British Virgin Islands are known for being the best place to practice sailing sports, diving, snorkelling and fishing in the Caribbean. Recognized as the Capital of Sailing Sport in the World; With a warm climate and favorable winds, you can reach most of the islands by navigating with the naked eye as the islands are concentrated within a radius of 80 nautical miles. You can rent yachts, sailboats and catamarans with or without crew. (Tortola has the largest fleet of rental boats in the Caribbean with about 700 boats). These floating rooms give life to the saying "discover your own island"; since there are thousands of ports to dock through all the islands, each with its own personality, charm and secrets.
With a total population of 29,000 people, only a few islands are currently inhabited. With hundreds of bays, the island of Tortola offers simple delights at every turn, from surfing on the waves of the Atlantic north of Apple and Josiah's Bay and adventures in sailing boats in the south from Nanny Cay to Road Harbor to meetings of the owners of yachts in the west in the Soper's Hole and the energetic Cane Garden Bay. Tortola is the most inhabited island and where 80% of the islanders live.
Just 12 miles from Tortola is Virgin Gorda, best known for its art works of nature, including the uninhabited beaches of Savannah Bay, Pond Bay, Devil's Bay, Mahoe Bay or Spring Bay and the most spectacular of all, The Baths . Whose mysterious origins are believed to date from the beginning of evolution, large rocks of volcanic origin scattered through the white sand, form caverns and crevices full of small pools of crystal clear sea water.
Named by a Dutch inhabitant, formerly a pirate, Jost Van Dyke is another of the main destination islands. It has rugged landscapes and colorful folklore. Ideal to explore its ruins of the sugar mill covered with vegetation, ancient roads that cross the island, the natural Jacuzzi formed by the sea or observe the dolphins and whales that look out over the surroundings of the island.
The island of Anegada, the furthest of all the islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean, calls visitors to enjoy spectacular sunsets, succulent feasts of lobsters; he challenges the sailor but experiments to sail outside the protection of the Sir Frances Drake Channel and opens the doors to 37 kilometers of virgin and desolate beaches.
 
Where to stay
Whether floating rooms or homes on land, the British Virgin Islands offer a wide variety of accommodations, from the most modest hostel and high quality hostels to private luxury hotels that comprise a complete island, all without much pretension but complementing the natural beauty of the island.
