As the only coral isle in the British Virgin Islands and the site of miles of unspoiled beaches, Anegada is a hidden gem. What’s the best way to experience it? Book an oceanfront Palapa Retreat at the Anegada Beach Club. Raised atop the dunes, the open-air accommodations include a king canopy bed, a furnished deck, and an ensuite bathroom with a hot shower. When you aren’t watching the waves roll by, dine on freshly grilled lobster while digging your toes into the sand at the property’s al fresco restaurant or try your hand at bonefishing.
Kayak through Tortola’s mangroves
Along with coral reefs and sandy coves, the BVI is awash in natural treasures. For something a little different, consider joining GroundSea Adventures during a two-hour guided paddle through Tortola’s “secret” mangrove lagoon tucked away on a remote private estate. Don’t forget to keep your eyes open for baby sharks, turtles, rays, and fish—the trees’ roots function as sheltering nurseries for many different animals.
Travelers who want to extend their experience can opt for a half-day paddle and hike up Mount Alma, which towers over Trellis Bay and Hans Creek on Beef Island. Pirates once used a version of the winding trail to access the strategic lookout point at the top.
Enjoy water sports in the North Sound
Put on the map by diving legend Herbert “Bert” Kilbride back in the 1960s, Saba Rock has long ranked as a popular hangout for in-the-know locals and visitors searching for barefoot luxury. Now, the iconic one-acre island, a five-minute ferry ride away from Virgin Gorda in the North Sound, provides an ideal home base for water sports enthusiasts; the surrounding waters are one of the world’s top kiteboarding and windsurfing destinations. Guests can also go scuba diving, kayaking, or paddleboarding. Stay for dinner and savor the catch of the day during an epic sunset, or better yet, spend the night in one of Saba Rock’s nautical-themed rooms with 180°-views of the ocean.
