How to Travel to Tortola, For Less

By: - April 1st, 2016

It’s one of the most beautiful places in the Caribbean: the British Virgin Island of Tortola.

It’s a varied destination, with something for everyone, whether you’re chartering a boat or in for a culinary excursion.

But it’s also home to some of the region’s best beaches, including the white sands of Long Bay.

The latter has a rather exotic quality, with energetic waves and a sweeping vistas.

And it’s also the site of a very good all-inclusive resort: the Long Bay Beach Club, one of Elite Island Resorts’ properties across the region.

So what are you waiting for?

Here’s how to book it.

(And don’t forget to use Cape Air to get to Tortola from San Juan or St Thomas).
