In addition to unspoiled natural beauty and world-class sailing, diving, and dining, the British Virgin Islands offers visitors an exceptional range of locally owned and operated accommodations, many of which can now be found on a new website. The website was developed by the BVI Tourism Accommodation Properties (TAP) with the support of the BVI Tourist Board.

“This new website provides the association with a much needed tool for marketing our properties,” said Ms. Julia Dawson, President, BVI Tourism Accommodation Properties. “We are now able to take advantage of wider marketing opportunities because we have a central location to which we can direct potential visitors.”

“Beyond our natural resources, our most valuable tourism assets are the many people who serve our destination’s visitors at our fine hotels, resorts, villas and intimate inns,” said Mr. Myron Walwyn, Chairman, British Virgin Islands Tourist Board. “Locally owned and immaculately cared for, the BVI TAP member properties are indeed ‘Jewels of the BVI’ and it is our hope that this new website will help travel consumers in the U.S. and beyond uncover these jewels at an increasing rate in the months and years to come.”

The website lists all 43 BVI TAP member properties and provides valuable information about the properties, the BVI’s main islands, and activities for tourists. Website visitors can search for properties by island, type of accommodation and number of guests. 

As locally owned hotels, villas, and intimate inns, each property is carefully maintained and offers an authentic experience imbued with the stories and culture of the British Virgin Islands. Not unlike the overall sense of the destination, a stay at one of the Jewels of the BVI offers a relaxing pace, a personal connection, and a warm feeling of hospitality that cannot be replicated.
