Long
sweeps of pale sand linking lush green headlands,
yachts anchored off in natural harbours, and private
island resorts in splendid seclusion
...these
are the hallmarks of the British Virgin Islands,
where tourism is still low key, and luxury while
lavish, is always discreet. Sharing the waters
and echoing the landscapes of their British neighbours,
the US Virgin Islands are more cosmopolitan, but
our featured island, St. John, bucks the trend.
Cloaked
in the bay forests of National Park, it has no
airport, no nightlife and beaches to die for.
