Welcome to the Virgin Islands on Paradise Islands. The island groups consist of the US Virgin Islands of St Thomas, St Croix and St John and the British Virgin Islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Anegada and a large number of smaller atolls including the World famous Necker Island; which are all part of the Caribbean Leeward Islands chain.

Jost Van Dyke

 

The British Virgin Islands are not as developed and consist of over 60 separate islands. The main island is Tortola with the capital Road Town. These are unspoilt romantic hideaways with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters.

Necker Island

 

The British Virgin Islands are one of the most popular sailing destinations in the World attracting thousands of private boats which can explore the secrets of the 60 island chain and still feel like there is enough space for everyone. Little gems such as Norman Island (the inspiration for "Treasure Island"), Anegada, Cooper and Peter Island are just waiting to be explored.

The United States Virgin islands consist of three larger islands of which the main one is Saint Thomas with it's capital Charlotte Amalie. This is a busy town and the most popular cruise port in the Caribbean. The town of Charlotte Amalie was named after a Danish Queen.
It has the best shopping opportunities in the Virgin Islands with a busy main street full of quaint shops and a colourful harbour front lined with old Danish buildings. The other main islands are Saint Croix and Saint John (which is stunning).
The Editor of Paradise Islands chartered a helicopter for the day and we are pleased to feature many unique aerial photographs of the larger islands as well as dramatic images of the smaller atolls.
