Tailor-Made Holidays to the British Virgin Islands – Your Private Caribbean Playground
Crystal-clear waters, secluded coves, and some of the most beautiful sailing routes in the world. The British Virgin Islands are a true Caribbean dream. Made up of more than 50 islands, islets, and cays, the BVI offers a perfect blend of adventure and tranquillity. From white-sand beaches with barely a footprint to chic resorts and exclusive villas, this is an island group where luxury comes naturally.
For UK travellers, our tailor-made BVI holidays offer a rare opportunity to shape your perfect Caribbean escape. Whether you want to spend a week island-hopping on a private yacht, hide away in a luxury resort, or combine both for the ultimate indulgence, we’ll create a bespoke itinerary that fits you perfectly. Every detail from flights, transfers, accommodation, and unforgettable experiences is arranged by our UK-based travel specialists so you can focus entirely on enjoying island life.
Why Choose the British Virgin Islands?
The BVI is unlike anywhere else in the Caribbean. These islands are famous for their sailing culture. With sheltered waters, steady trade winds, and countless anchorages, it’s a nautical paradise. But there’s just as much charm for those who prefer their feet on solid ground.
- Natural beauty – from the granite boulders and hidden pools of The Baths on Virgin Gorda to the pink-sand beaches of Anegada.
- Laid-back luxury – world-class resorts, boutique hotels, and private villas that put you at the heart of nature without sacrificing comfort.
- Cultural authenticity – a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with vibrant local festivals, music, and cuisine.
With so many islands, each with its own character, the BVI lends itself perfectly to tailor-made travel. One day you might be snorkelling in a deserted bay, the next sipping cocktails in a chic beach club…and the beauty is, you set the pace.
Tailor-Made Travel from the UK
Reaching the BVI from the UK is part of the adventure. There are no direct flights from London, which helps preserve the islands’ exclusive feel. Most visitors arrive via Antigua, St Thomas (USVI), or San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Our tailor-made approach means you can:
- Combine several islands into one trip, perhaps a few nights on Tortola, time in Virgin Gorda, and a private yacht charter in between.
- Add a luxury sailing holiday to your stay, either crewed or bareboat.
- Pair the BVI with another Caribbean destination, such as Antigua or St Lucia, for a multi-island experience.
When to Visit
The BVI enjoys warm, sunny weather year-round, with average temperatures around 28°C. The high season runs from December to April, offering ideal sailing conditions and a lively social calendar. May and June bring calmer crowds and attractive rates, while July and August see the islands in their lushest state. September and October are quieter due to the hurricane season, and many properties close for annual maintenance. We’ll help you choose the perfect time based on your priorities – whether that’s smooth sailing, tranquil beaches, or local events like the famous Spring Regatta.

From legendary resorts to secluded hideaways, the BVI has accommodation to suit every style. Here are a few hand-picked favourites:

Why a Tailor-Made Holiday Works in the BVI
The BVI is not a one-size-fits-all destination and that’s precisely why tailor-made travel works so well here. We design each trip from scratch, meaning you can:
- Spend half your stay on land and half at sea for the best of both worlds.
- Choose from multiple islands to match your interests. Whether that’s Virgin Gorda’s elegance or Jost Van Dyke’s lively charm.
- Include exclusive experiences such as private beach dinners, guided snorkelling trips, or helicopter tours.
- Travel at your own pace, with flexible timings and no fixed tour groups.
Our UK-based team works directly with trusted partners in the BVI, ensuring you get the best rooms, the smoothest transfers, and the little touches that make all the difference.
