Renowned for sailing, snorkeling and some of the world’s best beach bars, the British Virgin Islands enchant with a string of roughly 60 pieces of Paradise spread across 56 square-miles of Caribbean blue. And even with the closure of venerable beachfronts such as Biras Creek Resort and the temporary shuttering of Rosewood Little Dix Bay for renovations until next December, visitors who opt for a beach-based experience (rather than just cruising through) will still find plenty of seaside places to stay. CJ Travel Editor Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon brings you the best beach hotels in the British Virgin Islands.
