Tortola is located 50 miles east of Puerto Rico within the 60+ islands
known as the British Virgin Islands. It is the largest of the BVI and is the
center of government and commerce. Road Town, the capital of the British Virgin
Islands, offers visitors shops, bars and restaurants. island is the largest and
most populated of the British Virgin Islands, a grouping of some fifty land
masses of varying shapes and sizes in the northeastern Caribbean. Like the rest
of the BVI, Tortola island remains charmingly reminiscent of West Indies' past;
a quiet colonial atmosphere pervades Tortola island, aided by measures that the
BVI have put in place to restrict the types of development that so often taint
the Caribbean's paradisiacal feel. There are things to see and do on Tortola
island, sure, but relaxation usually tops the agenda of the people who visit
here. Peaceful white-sand beaches, rolling hills, and an unassumingly friendly
people make Tortola island a restful haven.
Brilliant Tortola weather offers relief to sun-deprived visitors year-round -
a constant barrage of warm sun, pleasant breezes, and unceasingly blue skies.
Because the British Virgin Islands lie within twenty degrees of the equator,
Tortola weather is considered tropical; there are no discernable winter or
summer seasons within the spectrum of Tortola weather, just continuous pleasant
conditions from January to December. Summer temperatures reach into the high 80s
and low 90s, while 'winter' sees averages in the low 80s.
Tortola, like Virgin Gorda, is primarily a beach and water sport destination.
It offers many wonderful private villas with private swimming pools that are
nestled on the mountainsides high above the sea. An excellent choice for the
more independent travelers as full staff is generally not included-although
cooks are available for hire. Most of our villas on Tortola are located hillside
providing extremely private settings overlooking dramatic ribbons of islets and
cays and white sands beyond.
