Virgin Gorda is the second largest of the British Virgin Islands and was named the Fat or Pregnant Virgin by Columbus for its shape, as seen when approaching from the sea.

Virgin Gorda has a mountainous center and three distinct areas: The North Sound, which offers protected waters and anchorages for yachts; the more-secluded Beach Coast, with its pristine and secluded white-sand beaches; and the boulder-strewn plains of The Baths and The Valley.

Virgin Gorda is the ideal destination for anyone who really wants to get away from it all, as well as family beach vacations. Of all the major Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda is the most remote, offering an escape far off the beaten track.

The Baths is the most stunning sight on the island. Giant boulders, creating dramatic sheltered grottos, are strewn along a shoreline of spectacular white sand, lapped by clear turquoise waters. Other wonderful, stunning beaches also await exploration, including Spring Bay, Devils Bay, Trunk Bay, Savannah Bah and Mahoe Bay. Activities include beachcombing, sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, boating, windsurfing, sea kayaking and horseback riding.

Virgin Gorda offers a good selection of bars and restaurants. The best nightlife on the island is found at casual local pubs, where impromptu parties occur and strangers fast become friends. The people of Virgin Gorda take pleasure in making visitors feel at ease and at home.

Private villas on Virgin Gorda include daily maid service, but not cooking service. While it is possible to arrange a local cook for the evening meal, this is a destination best chosen by independent travelers who like to arrange for their own meals. Virgin Gorda is an island for people who enjoy the simple pleasures of a perfect beach, fresh grilled fish and a refreshing lack of pretension.
