US Virgin Islands (USVI)

Unbelievably beautiful Trunk Bay on the island of St. John in the United States Virgin Islands, Caribbean.

 

The islands are an unspoiled Caribbean hideaway and the ease of travel for US citizens (if you’re American, you don’t even need a passport to go) mean the islands are a popular destination all year round. If you’re looking for a tropical Christmas paradise that still feels just a little bit more like home, without the snow and ice of course, then the islands of Saint Croix, Saint Thomas and Saint John may be the perfect choice for you.

British Virgin Islands (BVI)

Marina Cay surrounded by yachts in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), Caribbean.

 

The British Virgin Islands are just a little quieter, just a little slower and just a little more “Caribbean” than their US neighbours, but equally as beautiful. The islands are mountainous and lush with excellent harbours, making the BVI a very popular yachting destination. The majority of the population lives on the main island of Tortola, but Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke are great islands for a Christmas vacation. The New Year’s party at Foxy’s Bar on Jost Van Dyke is definitely one party not to be missed!
