| How
do I get to the British Virgin Islands?
If you are flying into the British
Virgin Islands, you should book your flight to
Beef Island, Tortola (Airport Code: EIS). If you are
flying into any of the airports in the U.S. Virgin
Islands, you will need to take the ferry to the West
End of Tortola, for which there is a $50 round-trip
fare per person.
We will meet you at the airport
or ferry station and bring you directly to your villa.
If you request a rental car, it will be at the villa
upon your arrival.
What documentation
is required to visit the BVI?
For UK citizens, a valid passport is required for
travel to the British Virgin Islands.
For US and Canadian citizens, a
valid passport or an original birth certificate accompanied

How
do I arrange for a rental car?
We can make those arrangements for you, or you can

with them to have your rental car at the villa when
you arrive.
