Virgin
Oriental is on Virgin Gorda, the third largest of the British Virgin
Islands, with a resident population of only 2,500 people. It is a
tranquil, unspoiled island that has a year round temperature in the
80's.
There
are fabulous, boulder strewn,
white sand beaches, national parks for walking, water sports, sail or
motorboats for charter, deep sea fishing, excellent scuba diving,
opportunities to windsurf, or water ski.
But,
perhaps just as important are the things Virgin Gorda does not have: no
high rises, no neon signs, no traffic lights, no casinos, no golf, no
movie theaters. Just several excellent restaurants and informal night
spots featuring local bands and performers.
Virgin Oriental comes
with daily maid service. If you want a cook or babysitter, we can
arrange it. Car rentals ditto.
Virgin Gorda is easy to
reach. There are many direct flights from major U.S. and European cities
to San Juan or St. Thomas. From there, frequent daily flights will take
you to Virgin Gorda. You can also reach Virgin Gorda by ferry from St.
Thomas or Tortola.
Keep in mind that Virgin
Gorda is British, so bring a passport or birth certificate. The U.S.
dollar is the local currency. Be prepared to drive on the left and to
enjoy Virgin Oriental.
