Visitors typically fly into Cyril E. King Airport (STT) in St. Thomas, USVI, or Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) in St. Maarten, then connect via a short inter-island flight or ferry to Tortola. This adds an extra layer of travel but helps maintain the islands' secluded charm.
With a total population of around 30,000 people, the capital island of Tortola is home to the vast majority, concentrating services, businesses, and infrastructure. This leaves the other inhabited islands significantly less developed and more tranquil, offering diverse experiences.
Located on Tortola, Sage Mountain rises to 1,716 feet (523 meters) and hosts the Sage Mountain National Park. This park preserves the remnants of a tropical rainforest, a rare ecosystem in the BVI, offering hiking trails and panoramic views of the surrounding islands.
