It’s always round about the time that your part of the world starts sinking into winter and the days start to shorten that thoughts move to distant islands where the sun always shines and the iciness that cold weather strikes into your bones will be banished forever. When thinking of these delicious far-away places, there are few that epitomize that quintessential island getaway more than the British Virgin Islands. For most people, Tortola would thus be a dream destination, and it’s not as distant as you may think. Travelers looking into villa rental on Tortola have been amazed at the wide selection and the wide variety on offer that would suit most budgets.
What is there to do on Tortola?
Tortola could definitely be described as an underdeveloped island, which will provide you with exactly the privacy and relaxation that you’re looking for. Some tourists bemoan the fact that they go on holiday only to be surrounded by crowds of tourists all jostling for a space to put their chair in the sand. On Tortola, there is a good possibility of finding a deserted beach and a skyline of buildings and hotels is unlikely to block your view.
Despite the quiet, laid-back atmosphere on Tortola, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t many activities when you want to drag yourself away from a warm ocean, gazing at palm trees, and indulging in some quiet contemplation of the meaning of life. This tropical island is covered in lush green hills, so there are many hiking trails available. Tortola boasts beautiful rainforests which are teeming with animal life and birdsong and which provide a fantasy escape as you walk through them.
Then there are the watersports to indulge in. When you are next to water that is almost translucent, it’s hard not to want to snorkel and to gaze down right to the sea-bed. You could also find many boats for hire or could rent out a yacht for the day.
Holiday memories
Tortola is picture-postcard perfect. Its beaches are of dazzling white sand and are pristinely clean. If the idea of resting and relaxing while gazing on perfect scenery is appealing, a villa rental on Tortola is definitely something to investigate. There are many exotically named places to choose from, such as Smuggler’s Cove and Long Bay, conjuring up images of romance and serenity. Long after your adventure is over, you will be able to look through your pictures and marvel at the al-fresco lifestyle you enjoyed. You’ll remember the sound of the fan whizzing softly overhead and the rustle of the palm trees outside and will always be grateful that you took the opportunity to enjoy a Caribbean idyll.
