Travel Experts Say the “Shoulder Season” is Perfect for a BVI holiday, and You Can Book Your Stay with Virgin Gorda Villa Rentals (VGVR)
By VGVR

As one of the most desirable locations for a stunning tropical vacation, there’s always a lively debate as to when is the best time to visit the BVI and Virgin Gorda.
According to some reliable local sources and recent press coverage, the shoulder season, generally defined as from the start of September through mid-November, is a special time of year in the BVI. You’ll find fewer crowds, superb weather and sailing conditions, and friendly and inviting island vibes that make for an unforgettable and authentic Caribbean getaway.
Virgin Gorda and VGVR in the Press
If you’re looking for inspiration for a getaway before the festive season, two recent articles let the secret out on the benefits of visiting the BVI.
According to a recent piece in Travel and Tour World, Explore The British Virgin Islands: Quiet, Affordable, and Beautiful, “If you want a relaxing escape full of the Caribbean charm you’ve heard about, this less-travelled stretch is game-changing.”
In an article for the Caribbean Journal, Why This is One of the Best Times to Visit the British Virgin Islands, author Guy Briton says, “From September through early November, when much of the Caribbean is quieter, the BVI opens itself in a way that feels different.”
Highlighting Where to Stay in Virgin Gorda this Season
Both aforementioned travel magazine features name Virgin Gorda, along with Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and Anegada, as dreamy destinations to hit before the holidays. When it comes to where to stay, VGVR is cited by Travel and Tour World for providing “top-notch service and stunning views”, and by the Caribbean Journal for keeping “villa options plentiful” on Virgin Gorda.
