Waves on the rocky shore at Tortola, British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands are built around island-hopping, sailing, secluded beaches, smaller-scale luxury and the character of individual islands such as Tortola and Virgin Gorda, rather than mass-market all-inclusive resorts.
This is a destination for travellers who value the journey between islands as much as the hotel itself.
