General presentation
Îles Vierges britanniques
Moorings, granite blocks, beaches and low islands make up a Caribbean archipelago, which is mostly travelled by the sea.
The discovery of the British Virgin Islands is centred around Tortola, Anegada and Virgin Gorda. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: transport and openings to be confirmed and weather likely to modify the program. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Tortola
Tortola brings together the port of Road Town, green hills and very different bays, from Cane Garden Bay to quieter anchorages. The island often serves as a nautical base, but its lace roads, viewpoints and beaches also allow the British Virgin Islands to be seized from the land.
Remarkable location
Anegada
Anegada is divided with the other British Virgin Islands by its almost flat relief, its dangerous reefs for navigation and its long beaches bordered by shallow waters. Flaming, conch, lobster and sandbanks give a lower, brighter atmosphere, very appreciated by lovers of open lagoons.
Remarkable location
Virgin Gorda
Virgin Gorda is best known for The Baths, where huge blocks of granite form passages, basins and sheltered beaches. Beyond this rocky chaos, the island alternates coves, dry hills and elegant anchorages, with a frequentation that varies greatly according to the arrivals of boats.
Remarkable location
Jost Van Dyke
Jost Van Dyke combines steep terrain, clear anchorages and a very Caribbean beach sociability, especially around White Bay and Great Harbour. The island attracts boaters for its bars with feet in the sand, but the trails and views from the heights show a more rough and less festive face.
