LAND ACTIVITIES
What happens beyond of our shimmering coasts may whisper amid the roar of the ocean, but trust us: in the British Virgin Islands, you won’t want to miss what’s waiting ashore.

Immerse yourself in the British Virgin Islands’ rich traditions, shaped by nautical trade and leisure, musical artistry and the blending of cultures over centuries.

An Island lesson in originality.
Take a (short) break from the surf and sun and embark on an exploration of the BVI beyond what meets the eye.

Measure happiness in grains of sand.

Lounging seaside in the British Virgin Islands is unimaginably blissful – but first, you have to decide where you’ll lay your towel down. The magic of each island extends to its beaches, from surf-friendly shores in Anegada to the untouched sands of Tortola’s Smuggler’s Cove. If we had to list all the gorgeous options we’d be here all day, so let’s just say this: you’ll never run out.

A couple things you can always count on? Endless skies, inviting water and an absolute sense of relaxation.
