If you have never had the pleasure of spending time in Tortola, this is one place you should definitely add to your travel wish list.
It's easy to have the ultimate experience in this island utopia because Elite Island Resorts can put you into the heart of Tortola and all of the irresistible perks it offers at the Long Bay Beach Club.
Tortola Has It All
The largest of the British Virgin Islands, Tortola also serves as the capital island. It offers the best of everything travelers seek in this region. Visitors encounter sparkling crystal blue waters, breathtaking views and a sizzling climate.
Nestled between pristine white beaches and rich green mountain vistas, the most popular areas of this island seem custom-designed to provide scenes right out of a luxury travel publication.
The island is home to dozens of beaches, so you have your pick of shoreline havens. Scout out the perfect spot where you can get away from it all and stake claim to your own temporary oceanside oasis.
Something for Everyone
While the beaches may get all of the attention, there are plenty of other things to love about Tortola. Discover the area's rich history by venturing away from the shores and exploring some of the local landmarks and cultural attractions.
Visit one or more of the island's museums-the 1780 Lower Estate Sugar Works Museum is in an old sugar mill-or get up-close with the beauty of nature at the J.R. O'Neal Botanic Gardens.
Take advantage of the chance to indulge in authentic, delicious regional cuisine. Take your pick of the many great dining options. Rhymer's Beach Bar is known for their conch fritters and other local fares.
Feast on fresh seafood at The Sugar Mill, housed within a former sugar mill that dates back hundreds of years. Other dining options include everything from traditional Italian dinners to upscale French cuisine.

Stay Active-or Do Nothing at All
Stay busy during your visit by timing your arrival to coincide with a major happening that interests you. In spring, spectators and competitors flock here from all over the world for the British Virgin Island Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival.
In November, there's the BVI Food Fete. This is a region that loves any reason to celebrate, so festivals and parades are held on a frequent basis all throughout the year.
Then again, most people don't necessarily need a specific event or occasion to lure them to this incredible tropical paradise. In fact, you may prefer to visit when nothing in particular is going on.
After all, one of the best things about this locale is the fact that you can just sink into a lounge chair on the sand and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. Take advantage of the peace and quiet that's a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of busy city life.
