British Virgin Islands
Culture
No trace remains of the islands' original Indian population; today's inhabitants are mostly descended from slaves or slave owners. The hybrid Caribbean culture is evident in the food, in the music and in the handmade sloops that many locals use for fishing. Islanders reflect a mixture of British and West Indian influences when playing their dashing style of cricket and when they wash down a plate of conch fritters with a pint of ale. Virgin Islanders are suckers for a beat. Fungi bands play scratch instruments such as gourds and washboards and sing songs that often comment on local social and political issues. Calypso, known originally as kaiso, was brought here by African slaves and used as a form of communication and rebellion. It's still an integral part of the islands' Carnival, which began as a celebration of slave emancipation. A lot of islanders of African descent retain a strong belief in the spirit world: ghosts (jumbis) often get blamed for bad things and credited for good things on the islands. Jumbi stories were an important part of slave culture, used not only as spine-tingling entertainment on moonlit nights, but also as cautionary tales for children. The inspirational antics of Bru Nansi, a wily spidery man who prevailed in adverse circumstances, were an integral part of West African slave culture. Storytelling traditions persist today, though often in more structured settings such as community halls and festival gatherings.

British Virgin Islands There are parts of the British Virgin Islands so beautiful, you'd happily marry the closest iguana just so you could stay there forever. Think green hills, blue skies, tripped out sunsets and beaches where the loudest noise is the donk of a coconut dropping on sand soft as a baby's bot. Once the hideaway of buccaneers and brigands, the islands now attract a more salubrious yachting crew drawn by steady trade winds, well-protected anchorages and a year-round balmy climate. Tourist development has been limited by enlightened environmental policy, giving these islands a thoroughly different character from their raucous neighbors. While the US Virgin Islands have pursued the tourist dollar, the British Virgin Islands have been keen to stay limey and out of the limelight. Area: 59 sq miles (153 sq km)

are a paradise waiting to be discovered. Compared to the American Virgin Islands, their next- door cousins, the BVIs have a small native population and, typically, small resorts, inns and villas The cover photo (credit: Dan Burch), was taken from Mt. Sage with the view toward Tortola's northern beach coast. H ere is the place for a vacation Getting away from it all is easy in the islands, given the variety of lodging , from the elegant luxury resort to the affordable kitchenette. And beautiful villas . Great for families too! D ining in the islands
is quite an event, partly for the fun of getting there and partly for the settings which favor seabreezes and verandas on seacoasts, in beach bars and even on mountaintops. T he menus vary from local West Indian cooking with giant Anegada lobster feasts to fine Continental French and Florentine cuisine. See Cuisine of the Islands about this fabulous food!
Known for its beautiful white sand beaches , the islands are the location of many natural wonders Tour of Shops

British Virgin Islands Club
The BVI Club offers something different to the larger brochures which feature the Caribbean. We have included a selection of the best villas on Tortola, Virgin Gorda and Peter Island; all of which have been chosen for their location near the sea, their high standard of furnishing and comfort, and their degree of privacy. We have also included four hotels whose aim is to pamper the individual in luxury.
We invite you to join our BVI Club and holiday with us on one or more of the British Virgin Islands. The fifty small islands of the British Virgin Islands archipelago hide away in the Caribbean, north of St. Kitts and just sixty miles east of Puerto Rico. Fifteen of the islands are uninhabited.
The population of the islands is just over 12,000 and everyone speaks English. Today, evidence of bygone eras can be found in old sugar mills, plantation windmills, forts, churches, colonial architecture, underwater shipwrecks and a shared sense of pride to preserve folklore, culture, tradition and art. Many areas of the British Virgin Islands are now under the protection of a National Parks Trust, a body established by the government to conserve and manage the natural beauty of the islands. These range from the forest of Sage Mountain at the highest point of Tortola to the marine site of the wreck of the R.M.S. Rhone.
