Road Town, Tortola

After a short flight over the gorgeous Virgin Islands, you will find yourself on the 30-foot-high coral island of Anegada. On your ride from the landing strip to your final destination, keep an eye out for the elegant flamingos that call Anegada home. Once you have arrived at Cow Wreck Beach, your only task is to sit back and enjoy the day on one of the British Virgin Islands’ most spectacular beaches. Fall asleep under a palm tree cradled in the powdery white sands, or snorkel in the crystalline turquoise waters.

Break up your beach-centric vacation with a hike up to the highest point in the British and US Virgin Islands. Soaring to a magnificent 1,716 feet, Sage Mountain is considered a hiker’s paradise complete with majestic overlooks and an old growth forest that has remained untouched for over 500 years. BVI’s first national park, Sage Mountain was established in 1964 thanks to Laurence Rockefeller, who purchased 86 acres from farmers and donated the land to the government. Large boulders and lush rainforest on the north side are in stark contrast to the old pastures on the south.

Plan to spend the day camped out on a chaise lounge besides an infinity pool, stretched out on a talcum beach, or gazing out at breathtaking panoramas from a sky-high spa oasis while expert hands soothe your body and soul. Or perhaps you would prefer hiking up a mountain, kayaking across a turquoise sea, or sailing into the sunset with a breeze at your back. Come get carried away to tropical bliss at the 5-star Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, a member of the Five Star Alliance collection.
