What are you doing next Christmas? Here are some great ideas from the Moorings about how to spend the holiday away from all the stress and bustle at home by cruising in the British Virgin Islands:
‘Tis the season – the season for planning a fun-in-the-sun Christmas vacation in the British Virgin Islands! This is your chance to swap snow for sun and slippers for swimsuits in the cold of winter. Too often, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season takes its toll. During the month of December, time gets away, stress runs high, and energy hangs low. To escape all of this, consider a Christmas vacation on island time in the cruiser’s paradise British Virgin Islands!
Be Merry & Bright in the BVI
Charterer favorites like Leverick Bay, Cooper Island Beach Club, Pirate’s Bight, Soggy Dollar Bar, and the infamous Willy T are all open for the holiday season, as well as a number of other BVI hot-spots. Foxy’s Tamarind Bar will be hosting their annual Christmas Eve Dinner complete with music, dancing, merriment and decorated coconut palm. If lobster and endless beaches are on your mind, spend Christmas on Anegada, where the Anegada Reef Hotel, Wonky Dog, Big Bamboo and Cow Wreck Beach all await with open arms.
Walking in a White-Sand Wonderland
Not many places can boast beautiful weather throughout the holiday season, but the BVI most definitely can. This time of year, the trade winds can’t be beat, the temperatures are just right, and the sun shines effortlessly. Ocean breezes, warm afternoons, and cool calm nights – the kind of weather we only wish for reigns supreme during the month of December all the way into the new year!
The Diving Days of Christmas
This time of year brings not only gorgeous weather, but also the clearest waters for a Christmas morning dive that’s nothing short of breathtaking, especially at The Caves and The Indians on Norman Island. And for those not interested in diving, there are many other ways to appreciate the abundantly clear waters during the month of December. Snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding conditions at the world-famous Baths never cease to amaze and awaken the senses. Read more:
