The best Virgin Gorda resorts for luxury and adventure

Luxury islands

Barely more than eight square miles Virgin Gorda is a hidden gem in the Caribbean full of secluded coves, unspoiled white sand beaches, and some exceptional luxury Virgin Gorda resorts.

Part of the British Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda offers an abundance of natural beauty, hikes, yacht clubs, national parks, ancient ruins, boutique shops, and incredible food. A dazzling travel destination if you’re looking for Caribbean luxury and island adventure.

The island’s most celebrated and famous attraction is the Baths on Virgin Gorda’s north shore. A dramatic and awe-inspiring collection of granite boulders, created from volcanic lava, which form sheltered sea pools on the beach’s edge. The protected area also includes Devil’s Bay, which can be reached from The Baths by a series of ladders scaling the boulders. Just north of The Baths, Spring Bay is reached by a separate road and includes a lovely white sand beach.

For sea explorers Virgin Gorda is an adventurer’s playground. Above the water you can hire power boats and sailboats to fish or view the stunning surrounding islands. Sir Richard Branson’s luxury private island Necker Island is just a few kilometres away. And if you’re a scuba diver there’s plenty on offer too, from countless towering reefs of healthy corals, underwater caves, tunnels, extraordinary shipwrecks and massive boulders and grottoes and spectacular visibility.

In the island’s mountainous north, beautiful and secluded hiking trails lead up Gorda Peak to a lookout tower with views of the scattered surrounding islets. At 1359ft, Gorda Peak is the island’s highest point. The beginner’s hike is under two hours round trip.

Spanish Town on southern Virgin Gorda is the second largest town on the British Virgin Islands. Also known as The Valley, Spanish Town has some shops, a relaxed atmostphere and the beautiful Yacht Harbor marina at its heart.

The island is also home to some of the best upscale hotels in the Caribbean, each with exquisite restaurants and boutique shopping.
