SAILING THE BVI: YOUR WINTER SUN ESCAPE

Already fed up with the short days and dark nights? Almost forgotten what the sun looks like? If your answers are yes, then this is your sign to book your Winter sailing holiday.

Whether you are a novice or experienced sailor, The British Virgin Islands are without a doubt one of the best winter sailing destinations.

Located in the heart of the Caribbean, the BVIs offer more than 60 beautiful islands at your fingertips. Picture shimmering crystal waters, tropical beaches abundant in palm trees and perfect sunshine. Discover miles of hidden coves, white sandy beaches, secluded bays and some of the finest sailing in the world.

Thinking about packing your bags to escape to the BVIs yet?

We thought so…

Wave goodbye to the gloomy winter weather as your plane leaves the runway and jets off to the Caribbean. You find yourself smiling from ear to ear with excitement for your new sailing adventure.

Embrace a warm welcome from the Caribbean sunshine as you step off the plane. This is more like it! After a short connecting hop flight to the BVIs airport, your driver is waiting for you to whisk you and your luggage to the beautiful marina resort at Nanny Cay, on Tortola. Luxury greets you in every way; the perfect relaxation haven to unwind before or after your sailing adventure.

Where to explore first?

Will it be the Virgin Gorda Baths, one of the BVIs most famous landmarks in Tortola. A stunning destination with a crystalline coastline and scattered with giant granite boulders. Discover an abundance of colourful marine life as you snorkel through the secret rock pools.

Drop anchor in Cane Garden Bay

A divine secluded beach surrounded by glorious green hills. The perfect place to enjoy a relaxing swim or enjoy the view as you glide across the water on a stand-up paddle board. Snorkel, kayak and windsurf your way around the perfect playground of crystal Caribbean waters.

Discover the magic of Jost Van Dyke

Although one of the BVIs smallest islands, Jost Van Dyke oozes magic and history. Find yourself captivated by the picturesque landscape as you follow the beach trail from White Bay to Bubbly Pool, one of the top-secret spots on the island. Swim in the natural “jacuzzi” as the waves break over the rocks and burst into the beach pool.

Explore White Bay

Return to White Bay and venture to one of the legendary beach bars. Sip on a delicious fruity cocktail (or two) dowsed in Caribbean rum – every hour is happy hour at the Soggy Dollar! Get ready to experience some of the best flavours around Jost Van Dyke. Home to some of the Caribbean’s best dining, enjoy the laid-back atmosphere as you indulge in mouth-watering cuisine from traditional menus.
