Things to do

Discover Road Town

Discover Road Town

The majority of British Virgin Islands residents live and work in the capital - Road Town. Head here to see locals go about their day-to-day life and to see a few sights along the way. On Main Street, you’ll find a row of pastel-painted 18th century houses, plus the Old Government House, which has been converted into a small museum. You’ll also be able to engage in a spot of retail therapy at the gift shops and boutiques that line the streets. Local crafts and artisanal wares are on display in brightly hued cabins alongside stalls positively sizzling with jerk chicken, roti, and grilled seafood.

Virgin Gorda Baths

Virgin Gorda Baths

The Baths on Virgin Gorda are not to be missed on your next holiday to the British Virgin Islands. A series of huge granite boulders, pools, and caves perched on a pristine beach on Virgin Gorda’s north shore, the Baths are a geological gem offering equal parts relaxation and exploration. Bask in the light of ‘the Cathedral’ - perhaps the crowning jewel in this national treasure - where a series of ropes and ladders can guide you on your adventure. This protected area also includes Devil’s Bay, which you can reach by walking through to the end of the caves.

Anyone who does go to discover the hinterland of the island on foot, will find an incredibly diverse ecosystem.
