Destination Information for British Virgin Islands

British Virgin Islands are a British Overseas Territory and part of a volcanic archipelago in the Caribbean. Consisting of four main islands and numerous smaller ones, the reef lined beaches of the area make it a popular yachting destination. Tortola is the largest island, and also where the capital city of Road Town can be found. It is also home to Sage Mountain National Park, crowned by Sage Mountain which offers panoramic views of all the islands.

The most popular attraction in the area is the Baths, which are towering boulders created by volcanic lava around 70 million years ago. They flood with seawater, allowing visitors to enjoy swimming and snorkelling. A highlight is a 20-minute trail through the caves to Devil’s Bay, where participants must scale boulders and squeeze through passages to make it to the white-sand beach.
