Things to do in the British Virgin Islands
The idyllic British Virgin Islands are best suited for sailing, snorkeling and soaking up the sun. You will find no shortage of white sand, lush green mountains and rum in the British Virgin Islands.
Spend your time relaxing at the luxurious Rosewood Little Dix Bay resort, where you can walk out into the ocean and swim with turtles, play tennis or enjoy a cold beverage on the beach.
At Rosewood, you can rent a jeep for the day and explore the island. Stop at Hog Heaven for a drink and panoramic views of Moskito Island and Necker Island. Head south and hike down to the Baths, one of the most popular attractions in the British Virgin Islands. The Baths are caves that form an amazing array of cavernous passages on the shoreline of Virgin Gorda.
Hire a boat for the day to take you snorkeling the Indians, stop at Willy T's (be sure to jump off the top!) and end with a rum cocktail at Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke.
Make sure to include a spa treatment or two while at Rosewood Little Dix Bay. Their spa is incredible and gives you access to a private pool overlooking the ocean.
End your day with a drink at the Rum Room at Rosewood Little Dix Bay as you watch the sunset.
