Experience crystal clear turquoise waters, pristine sandy beaches, the best snorkeling opportunities, and heavenly tropical weather in the British Virgin Islands. Enjoy your perfect luxury vacation on more than 60 sun-kissed islands, perfect for exploring the beauty of the underwater world, biodiversity, and much more.
The British Virgin Islands guarantee you a genuine and unspoiled Caribbean idyll that could hardly be more beautiful. Sixty volcanic islands are clustered near Puerto Rico in the Atlantic Ocean, only 16 of which are inhabited. The islands of the archipelago are also considered a dream destination for sailors, as they are not far apart and there is always a good wind. There are many untouched bays and beautiful beaches. Diving enthusiasts will also get their money's worth here, as the Virgin Islands offer a species-rich underwater world with spectacular coral reefs. Above the water, many yachts can be found at the anchorages – one reason for this is the ideal water sports conditions and picturesque harbors.
On land, you can relax, hike, and observe the flora and fauna in unspoiled nature at the highest level. Most of the islands in the archipelago are forested and consist of mahogany and fig trees. The islands are also home to mango trees, papaya trees, and coconut palms. The yellow cedar blossom is the symbol of the region, but other plant species such as hibiscus, ixora, and frangipani can also be found. The fauna includes iguanas, mongooses, and bats. Pelicans are widespread throughout the Caribbean, so they are not only found in the national parks. The climate in the British Virgin Islands is tropical with consistent temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year. The rainy season is from September to November, which means that short, heavy showers are often to be expected during this time. The best time to travel is from December to May, as these months are the driest.
The Virgin Islands offer many diving opportunities, with coral reefs, underwater caves, and extraordinary shipwrecks. Every diving enthusiast, whether beginner or experienced diver, will find something to suit them here. If you prefer to stay above the water, you can also enjoy kite surfing and windsurfing anywhere in the British Virgin Islands. North Sound is a popular spot for this, as the offshore Eustatia Reef prevents the sea from becoming too rough. You can explore powdery white beaches, secluded lagoons, and picturesque islands by kayak. Have you ever encountered dolphins in the wild? You can do so in unspoiled nature at Dolphin Discovery in Tortola. Culinary delights include the Creole tradition of cooking, with chicken, seafood, fish, and sweet potatoes among the basic ingredients. Rice and beans as well as many spices are also found in the dishes. Try exotic local fruits such as papaya, mango, and pineapple, and sample rum, the national drink of the British Virgin Islands.
