The British Virgin Islands is a perfect spot if you and your partner are searching for a relaxing and romantic honeymoon. The beaches are bathed in white sand and the Caribbean waters are warm. Within the network of isles that make up the British Virgin Islands, many are only accessible by small, local boats. This means that it’s very feasible to have an entire beach, or even an island, alone to you and your sweetie. If the private island route doesn’t get you excited, there are plenty of all-inclusive resorts to stay at on the main islands. Here you can be tended to daily and explore the urban centers of the region.

Whatever you and your partner are looking for in a honeymoon, the British Virgin Islands is the perfect honeymoon destination. The only problem with this beautiful locale is that you might never want to come home!

When to Go

The British Virgin Islands maintain a toasty temperature year round, rarely dipping below 60°F. Rainfall is a bit of a different story, however. Avoid visiting between July and early September to avoid hurricane season. The most popular time for vacations is from December to February thanks to the temperate weather. However, if you’re looking to avoid big crowds and big resort bills, try waiting until March. Prices tend to be more reasonable, the weather is beautiful, and there are fewer tourists.
