Your Guide to BVI Luxury Villas
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a set of over 50 islands and cays. The main islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and Jost van Dyke, but there are also plenty of smaller and even private islands to explore. BVI luxury villas can be found across these islands and offer an unparalleled level of beauty and privacy.
Following the tourism boom of the mid-20th century, BVI became a popular spot thanks to its stunning landscapes and tropical climate. BVI luxury villas started cropping up around that time, with the first being private residences.
Today, BVI luxury villas are available for rent and are the finest accommodation on the islands.
Renting a BVI luxury villa is easy with Rental Escapes. First, find your travel dates and party size. From there, your Rental Escapes villa specialist will present you with the best available villa options. After, your concierge customizes your trip, including transportation, chef service, boat charters, excursions, and more.
BVI Villa Rentals
BVI luxury villas are located on some of the most beautiful parts of these islands. And for a destination known for its stunning, unspoiled landscapes, that’s really saying something.
The majority of BVI luxury villas are on Tortola and Virgin Gorda, but there are also plenty on smaller islands and cays. This includes private islands like Necker Island and Buck Island.
No matter where you go, you can expect a high level of service and amenities. And because our BVI luxury villas are independently owned and constructed, you’ll also find distinct interior and exterior designs and unique details.
Luxury Villas in Tortola
Tortola is the largest and most populated island in BVI, offering a perfect match of tranquillity and vibrancy. Luxury villas in Tortola epitomize this combination with their privacy, style, and high-end amenities. They include:
Ariana: Located on the southwestern tip of the island by Smuggler’s Cove, the wonderfully private Arianna is a great example of Tortola’s versatility. As you marvel at the views of the Atlantic, you’ll feel like you’re a world away. Take a 15-minute drive, though, and you'll be at Soper’s Hole Marina, with its many shops, restaurants, and ferries. This makes Ariana a perfect base for island hopping.
My All: Comprised of three bungalows on beautiful Trunk Bay Beach, My All is a perfect choice for groups of family and friends travelling together. It’s one of the rare spots where you can catch both the sunrise and the sunset over BVI. Relax in the jacuzzi by the rocks, stroll through the beautifully landscaped garden, jump in the pool, or relax by the beach. The possibilities are endless.
Outer Banks: With views over Jost van Dyke and Brewers Bay, the verandas of Outer Banks are sure to see some of your vacation’s most precious memories. An untouched location makes these views, and this villa, possible. It’s all complemented by 5 well-appointed bedrooms, traditional West-Indian styling, modern amenities, and direct beach access. Magic.
