This month we're featuring some of our favorite resorts in the Virgin Islands (both British and U.S.).

For U.S. citizens, the U.S. Virgin Islands has the added benefit of not requiring a passport...currency is the American dollar, and so it's an easy, "no worry" vacation.
  TheBigDay Travel Newsletter for August  2007

The best time to visit the Virgin Islands is in the winter--get away from the snow and ice and be on the beach, enjoying a refreshing drink (the VI's are known for banana daquiris!) in just a couple of hours from your home. Non-stop flights are available from cities like NYC, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, etc.

There's a great range of accommodations, from cool, quirky and inexpensive to ultra-luxury. And it's a sailor's paradise--everything from catamaran cruises to luxury yachts to renting an entire sailboat just for the two of you is available! And, the Virgin Islands are known for having the best shopping in the Caribbean.

I've selected a few of my favorite resorts in different styles and price ranges to give you a taste of what your next vacation could be...

P.S. on Virgin Gorda (BVI), don't miss The Baths national park, with its exotic pools and grottos and giant boulders strewn across sand beaches.
