The obvious being the pristine sandy beaches, there are tons of places in the BVI that make it the perfect place for a getaway, or even to relocate to. We are laying out the hottest properties and must-do activities for anyone considering traveling to the British Virgin Islands.

Featured Properties

The BVI is home to some of the world's most prestigious and highly coveted real estate. The resort style properties have every amenities imaginable, not to mention the close proximity to the water.

Aquamare is a beachfront resort listed by Smiths Gore BVI for $23,000,000. It is composed of fifteen exquisite ensuite bedrooms in three masterfully designed buildings and a two-bedroom managers house. It offers an unobstructed view of the breathtaking Sir Francis Drake Channel. This is truly an astounding property and a rare opportunity to own one of the BVI’s most distinguished resorts.

The Outer Banks is a colonial West Indian style villa that boasts three bedrooms and a private guest house. Being listed for $2,950,000, the stunning villa has a wrap around balcony that offers exceptional views of lush hillsides, the turquoise sea and incredible sunsets. The pool area is surrounded by beautifully landscaped tropical gardens. The property also includes a mooring for keeping a small boat and a three-car garage.

Visiting The British Virgin Islands

Whether you like to spend your time relaxing on the beach, or you want something with a little more adventure, there’s something for everyone in the BVI. One of the absolute musts when visiting the BVI is to explore The Baths at Virgin Gorda. The Baths are made up of massive smooth ash gray boulders of varying sizes that rise from the sea's crystalline waters, making a maze of sorts for travelers to wade or swim through. Climbing through the crevices and grottoes of The Baths is an unreal experience that you can’t pass up! Once you reach Devil's Bay, the stunning beach clearing at the end of the rocks, you'll find shallow clear waters perfect for a little light snorkeling or restful sunbathing.

Go sailing! The British Virgin Islands are every water sports enthusiast's dream. Surrounded by miles of brilliant blue, crystal clear Caribbean Sea, the islands are truly best explored on the water. Many travelers choose to island hop on a catamaran, sailboat or yacht, whether for a daytrip or a weeklong adventure while others may simply be interested in kayaking and paddleboarding through the calm water in shallower depths off the coast of their resort or nearest beach. No matter what appeals to you, you should plan to spend at least some time in the BVI out on the water.

Explore marine life! The BVI offers the opportunity to explore the wreckage of the The RMS Rhone. It is one of the premier shipwrecks to explore and allows divers to explore the intact vessel and the rare marine life that surrounds it. You can spot the ship's bow from the surface of the sea, but you'll have to dive some 90 feet down to explore the rest of the largely intact vessel and swim among the moray eels, turtles and octopus that now call the ship home.
