A seven-night, all-inclusive stay on Necker starts at $25,400 per couple, but you don’t need a superstar budget to discover the rest of the region.

The British Virgin Islands’ capital, Tortola, is just a short hop from Puerto Rico on Cape Air. Picturesque Virgin Gorda — just 40 minutes by ferry from Tortola — is also a popular spot to explore this enchanting archipelago. For more info, visit bvitourism.com.
