If eating, praying and loving is the new way of traveling, then the British Virgin Islands are the meeting place for paradise. The trifecta: Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Necker Island – three islands that posses everything a traveler could want, from the finest food to the bluest oceans to the most private coves and caves, perfect for those wanting a little solitude while searching for their own secret paradise. Any food-loving, sun-worshiping, romance-seeking traveler will find peace in the British Virgin Islands.
Eat: Anegada
“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” ~ George Bernard Shaw
There’s no better way to end a day than with a rum cocktail on one of the world’s most secluded beaches. Whether you come here for the day or choose to stay a few nights, your time in Anegada will be nothing short of peaceful, and plentiful. For centuries, ships have been lost along the islands treacherous reef, but these wrecks provide an underwater fantasy for today’s visitors. Head out to sea for a glimpse of exotic fish and marine life, or just lounge beachside with a cocktail and a good book.
Anegada is so deserted changes are you won’t run into another set of footsteps in the sand. If you do, it’s likely from the 118 locals who call the island home. Only 10 miles long and 2 1/2 miles wide, Anegada is wrought with charm. Whether you arrive by boat or sea plane, the views are nothing short of spectacular. But before you leave, you must indulge.

Looking forward to the rest of the article. I love the BVIs. You could have listed 3 other BVIs for this story and it still would have worked. That’s how diverse and beautiful the area is.
Cheers!
My wife and I spent two wonderful weeks in Virgin Gorda. We long to go back daily. Truly the perfect destination.
