Sugar Mill Hotel

$$ | North Coast Rd., Apple Bay, British Virgin Islands Fodor's Choice

Though it's not a sprawling resort, this renowned historic property has a Caribbean cachet that's hard to beat, thanks to its lovely gardens, prime North Shore location just across from the sand, and its iconic restaurants, which are set in a 400-year-old sugar mill and on the beach, respectively. Rooms are attractively decorated—with more than the usual floral spreads—and have balconies with good views, kitchens or kitchenettes, and some sofa beds. The resort offers an all-inclusive package on weekly bookings that includes three meals daily; all stays include breakfast.

Pros

  • Lovely rooms
  • Outstanding restaurants
  • Blissful views

Cons

  • On busy road
  • Small beach
  • Need car to get around

Virgin Gorda Village

$ | North Sound Rd., Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands

All the condos in this upscale complex a few minutes' drive from Spanish Town have at least partial ocean views. The location is ideal: close enough so that you can easily pop out to dinner but far enough to make you feel as if you're more isolated than you really are. You will need a car, though, to make those trips a breeze. Every condo is decorated to the owner's taste, but you can count on a comfortable tropical ambience.

Pros

  • Close to Spanish Town
  • Lovely pool
  • Recently built units

Cons

  • No beach
  • On a busy street
  • Noisy roosters nearby

White Bay Villas and Seaside Cottages

$$$ | White Bay, VG1160, British Virgin Islands Fodor's Choice

Beautiful views and friendly staff keep guests coming back to these hilltop one- to three-bedroom villas and cottages, the nicest accommodations on the island. The villas are well-designed self-catering units with Caribbean-style louvered windows and bright terra-cotta tiles. Rooms are comfortable, though not luxurious, but as soon as you see the view from your verandah you'll feel like royalty. Almost everything is provided: linens and beach towels, dishes and cooking utensils, flashlight, grill, DVD library, cable TV, and even a pair of binoculars for watching the sea below. White Bay Villas is on the hillside between Great Harbour and White Bay; the physically fit can easily walk to either within 10 minutes (coming back up is the hard part, though). Many guests choose to rent cars, however, especially if they're staying in one of the high hillside villas. The three Seaside Cottages are closest to the beach and the private beach club.

Pros

  • Incredible views
  • Full kitchens
  • Friendly staff

Cons

  • 10- to 15-minute walk to White Bay and Great Harbour's restaurants and beaches
  • Rental car recommended
  • Steep access roads
