british virgin islands
The British Virgin Islands are best seen from the water. Sheltered channels, short distances and dozens of anchorages make them one of the easiest places in the world to charter a yacht.
On land, there are private-island resorts, the giant granite boulders of The Baths, and beach bars that are famous in their own right.
where to go
The Baths, North Sound and some of the best hotels.
White Bay and the famous beach bars.
A flat coral island with empty beaches and fresh lobster.
Caves and snorkelling, said to have inspired Treasure Island.
The main island, with Cane Garden Bay and mountain roads.
Rocky pinnacles with some of the best snorkelling in the islands.
when to go
The BVI are warm all year, with the driest and breeziest months from December to April.
December to April
Steady winds and dry weather, perfect for sailing.
May to July
Lighter winds, calm seas and quieter anchorages.
August to October
The wettest months and the highest risk of storms. Quiet and good value, though some hotels close for a few weeks.
