Destination Weddings in the British Virgin IslandsThe British Virgin Islands are a little-known jewel of the Caribbean, a stunning and tranquil place to celebrate your wedding. The weather is beautiful, the wildlife is pristine and the beaches are peaceful. The four principal islands of the British Virgin Islands, plus the forty or so isles which are scattered around them, offer a taste of paradise.
Yachting enthusiasts from all over the world flock to the British Virgin Islands, and travelling by yacht is the perfect way to cruise from one island to the next. The turquoise waters which hide both stunning coral reefs and ancient shipwrecks mean that diving, snorkeling and scuba diving are all popular too.
The mixed British and West Indian cultural influences on the islands mean that cricket, carnival and calypso are all of equal importance here! Music in particular is a key element of island life, and an ancient tradition of stroytelling continues to this day.
The island's interiors are mostly covered with verdant subtropical forest. The environment has been carefully protected and a stroll through one of the many national parks is a wonderful experience.
The island of Tortola is home to the majority of the population of the British Virgin Islands. Its beaches are superb and the capital, Road Town, is well worth a visit for its botanical gardens, folk museum and vibrant nightlife. The quiet island of Virgin Gorda is also a popular destination, mainly for the unique attraction known as 'The Baths'. These are a collection of huge granite boulders, strewn over white sand beaches. Many lovely islands lie close to Virgin Gorda, within easy reach for day trips.
Horseshoe Reef, which lies along the coast of Anegada Island, is the third largest in the world. It is hugely popular with divers, and its countless stunning beaches make it a superb all-round destination.
Many more picturesque islands make up this beautiful nation. The romance and beauty of the isles make them a stunning location for your dream wedding - a day that will stay with you forever. |
