The Caribbean Sea is known for its clear waters, islands, and sandy beaches. It’s also one of the most popular destinations for a summer getaway. However, not every part of the Caribbean is crowded with tourists. The British Virgin Islands, an archipelago of four main islands and dozens of smaller ones, is one of the least developed islands in the Caribbean with the best things to do. They are also among the most exclusive, and as a result, there are many glamorous rental homes that offer privacy, great location, and top-quality amenities. If you’ve always dreamed of treating yourself to a grand vacation, read on for our picks of the top luxury villas in British Virgin Islands.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to luxury services and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 11, 2024.
