Virgin Gorda is one of the British Virgin Island’s largest islands. With postcard worthy pristine beaches and crystal clear waters, Virgin Gorda appears to be your quintessential beach experience. Look a little closer, however, and you will find some one-of-a-kind features that make Virgin Gorda so unique. The Baths are definitely a must visit to witness its stunning boulders that form secret grottoes and rock pools along the shoreline. As the light filters in from crevices between overlapping boulders, you’ll have the opportunity to take some really stunning photographs. Virgin Gorda also has a long and layered history with influences from African, Indian, and Spanish cultures. Little Fort National Park, for example has some incredible ruins for you to explore. While Virgin Gorda has its share of exclusive, luxury villas, a great alternative is to stay amongst the locals and immerse yourself in their culture and lifestyles. These are some great Airbnb vacation rental options at different price points.
