The BVI Archipelago
Discover the Islands
Sixty islands, cays, and rocks — each one a world of its own. Here's your guide to the four main jewels of the British Virgin Islands.
The BVI Archipelago
Four Islands, Endless Adventures
The British Virgin Islands are made up of four main islands, each with its own distinct personality. Tortola is the vibrant heart — the capital, the culture, the nightlife. Virgin Gorda is the glamorous one, with its famous Baths and luxury resorts. Jost Van Dyke is the barefoot beach bar island, legendary among sailors. And Anegada is the flat coral atoll at the edge of the world, ringed by reefs and pink flamingos. Together, they form one of the most extraordinary island groups on earth.
Tortola
The largest and most populated island in the BVI, Tortola is the cultural and commercial hub of the territory. Road Town, the capital, buzzes with waterfront restaurants, rum bars, and the famous Pusser's Landing. The island's mountainous interior — crowned by Sage Mountain National Park — offers dramatic hiking trails through ancient rainforest. On the north shore, Cane Garden Bay is one of the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches, a sweeping arc of golden sand backed by palm trees and beach bars.

Jost Van Dyke
Named after a Dutch pirate, Jost Van Dyke is the smallest of the four main islands and the most beloved by sailors. With a population of just a few hundred, it has no traffic lights, no ATMs, and no pretension — just world-famous beach bars, pristine bays, and the kind of Caribbean magic that's getting harder to find. The Soggy Dollar Bar at White Bay invented the Painkiller cocktail, and the annual New Year's Eve party here draws thousands of sailors from across the Caribbean.

White Bay
Home to the Soggy Dollar Bar and Foxy's Taboo — one of the most beautiful and lively beaches in the Caribbean.
Great Harbour
