TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands – From frolicking the white sandy beaches while downing signature Painkiller cocktails to sailing the technicolor tides of the Sir Francis Drake Channel, there is no better place for escapists to ring in the New Year than the British Virgin Islands. Located just a 40 minute flight away from Puerto Rico or a 45 minute scenic ferry ride from St Thomas, the renowned boating destination of the BVI showcases one of the best New Year’s celebrations in the world. Adventure-seekers experience tailgating gone Caribbean, also known as “boat hopping” where visitors and locals alike drop anchor to mix and mingle aboard chartered yachts and sailboats at hot spots throughout the destination. The fun-filled days of sunbathing, snorkeling, and sailing turn into celebratory nights of live music, fireworks and cocktails.
Hot Spots Partygoers reflect on the year’s best moments and look to the future with luxurious flare during an Old Year’s celebration at the hottest island spots in the British Virgin Islands. The biggest and best parties in the Caribbean start Dec. 30 and continue long after the ball drops.
Foxy’s Tamarind Bar & Grille – Jost Van Dyke The most renowned Old Year’s Celebration and birthplace of New Year’s events in the BVI is annually held at Foxy’s Tamarind Bar and Grille, an island favorite for years. Foxy’s hosts 48 hours of continuous entertainment with live music, dancing and delicious dining. BVIslanders and world travelers flock to the unique beach bar for nights filled with specialized succulent cuisine and cocktails including Foxy’s own micro-brewed beers, all accompanied by a collection of calypso bands to bring signature Caribbean grooves to the dance moves of each partygoer.
North Sound – Virgin Gorda The newest venue for boaters and land lovers alike to ring in 2009 is Virgin Gorda’s North Sound celebration. Guests start the night at the Caribbean’s premier luxury water sports resort, The Bitter End Yacht Club, for live reggae music and a delicious New Year’s Eve menu complete with a champagne toast. Party-goers welcome the new year with a bang as a gorgeous fireworks display lights up the sky when the clock strikes midnight. While next door at Prickly Pear Island National Park, night owls dance the night away to the numerous live bands.
Trellis Bay – Tortola Guests experience the regional culture of the islands at the Trellis Bay New Year’s Eve Festival, lasting from noon until after midnight on December 31. From reggae music and traditional island dancers to a festive fireworks extravaganza and areas perfect for boat hopping, both residents and visitors enjoy the lively, family-oriented atmosphere at Trellis Bay.
Getting to and Staying in The British Virgin Islands Visitors looking to explore The British Virgin Islands can reach the destination through direct flights from San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands and Antigua. Guests can also travel by seaplane or boat from St. Thomas to Tortola or Virgin Gorda’s North Sound. As The British Virgin Islands is composed of 60 storied islands, cays and islets, visitors island-hop around the BVI by chartering a sailboat or powerboat and experience a different island each day. Guests not choosing to sleep aboard a vessel can still enjoy other islands through regular ferry services to Anegada, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Peter Island and many more. Land accommodations range from intimate villas and inns to luxurious, world-renowned resorts. The British Virgin Islands remains an undeveloped haven for natural treasures and boasts no high-rise hotels, no casinos and little traffic. Instead, BVI showcases the purity of the land -- from pristine beaches with powdery sand and crystal clear waters home to an aquarium of the world’s most diverse sea life, to extensive coral reefs responsible for claiming renowned wrecks and vast Outbacks sheltering endangered species. Whether it is discovering the natural phenomena of The Baths or diving the Indians, Sandy Spit or fabled Wreck of the Rhone, the BVI is bountiful with Nature’s Little Secrets.
