Uncorrupted beauty in the British Virgin Islands.

The British Virgin Islands (BVI’s as they are commonly known) consist of some of the most beautiful islands and beaches in the world; I was lucky enough to really get a taste for the place when I visited, staying in a number of stunning hotels.

Gin coloured waters and white sands make for the most idyllic beach holiday. You can be as relaxed or as active, as family or couple orientated as you wish. The snorkelling and sailing are brilliant and there is also plenty of flora and fauna; a wide range of different interests are catered for.

I managed to see and experience six stunning properties including; Little Dix Bay, Peter Island, Guana Island, Bitter End, Necker Island and Biras Creek. They were all so different, with each having their own qualities and intricate details that really made them very special. Some properties are more suitable for families, others better for couples and friends; there are places perfect for those looking for an action packed holiday, and others for someone looking for serious relaxation. All the places I visited offered an experience to remember and enjoy. We enjoyed staying in stunning bedrooms which were mere steps from white sandy beaches, watching turtles swimming under our balcony, beautiful sunset boat trips, indulging in delicious seafood and visiting spas perched on cliff tops. I could go on forever about the beauty that is second to none.

Nine times out of ten you will have to take a connecting flight to get to Tortola but this serves to add to the charm of the islands, to enhance to feeling of absolute seclusion and remoteness. You really feel that you are experiencing a place which few others have been lucky enough to visit.
