The British Virgin Islands are a sprinkling of over 60 small paradisiacal Caribbean islands set in a turquoise sea. 16 of the islands are large enough to be inhabited and offer the holidaymaker real seclusion and tranquillity. Lush vegetation adorns the islands, from the palm trees on the white sand beaches and mangroves, to the rain forest covered mountain tops.
