Whether you want a traditional resort getaway or a sailing adventure, the British Virgin Islands has always been one of the Caribbean’s ultimate destinations.

And that’s still true today.

The British Virgin Islands has made an inspiring comeback from last year’s storms, and the beauty and adventure that always made the destination such a draw for travelers can still be found in abundance — and so can the Painkillers.

Here are five places to visit right now in the BVI, from luxe retreats to hip boutique island getaways.

Cooper Island The boutique Cooper Island Beach Club has long been one of our favorite small hotels in the Caribbean — and one of our favorite places, period. That’s because despite its small size on the shores of Manchioneel Bay there’s just so much on offer – a great beach, one of the region’s most impressive rum bars, a terrific eatery and the sort of warm, energetic hospitality for which the British Virgin Islands is so famous.
