The British Virgin Islands

The BVI are a group of islands that, along with the Spanish and U.S. Virgin Islands, make up the Virgin Islands archipelago: the western portion of the Leeward Islands. The Leeward Islands in turn form the northern region of the Lesser Antilles, which mark the Caribbean Sea’s eastern boundary with the Atlantic Ocean. Officially, the BVI are known simply as the Virgin Islands – a fact which the locals are sure to make clear. Known for their natural, unspoiled beauty, their friendly people, and as a perfect spot for a sailing vacation, these are the original Virgin Islands.
