Once the turf of the pirate Blackbeard, the British Virgin Islands were also the inspiration for R.L. Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Today Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and their sister islands inspire repeat visits from devotees of laid-back luxury at secluded British Virgin Island hotels. Swimming and snorkeling in the Virgin Gorda’s Baths (saltwater grottoes formed by volcanic boulders), is a popular activity.
