Visiting British Virgin Islands? Read brief travel information about the country.

British Virgin Islands enchant you through their dramatic green hills, blue skies, tripped-out sunsets and beaches where quite atmosphere and concealed bays offer you privacy and peace. The archipelago, boated between the North Atlantic Ocean in the North and the Caribbean Sea in the South, hosts about 60 semi-tropical islands of volcanic origin, rocks and cays. Only 16 of them are inhabited. The scenery ranges from palm trees and mango groves to frangipani covering jagged mountain peaks. The British Virgin Islands have a sub-tropical climate, moderated by trade winds that keep the humidity low and the Caribbean currents that keep the waters warm. The daily highs register between 25°C (77°F) in winter and 28°C (82°F) in summer. September through November is the wettest period, holding slim possibility of hurricanes that are unlikely to dampen your visit.
