Luxury on Tortola is more about a certain state of mind—serenity, seclusion, gentility, and a bit of Britain in the Caribbean—than about state-of-the-art amenities and fabulous facilities. Some properties, especially the vacation villas, are catching up with current trends, but others seem stuck in the 1980s. But don't let a bit of rust on the screen door or a chip in the paint on the balcony railing mar your appreciation of the ambience. You will likely spend most of your time outside, so the location, size, or price of a hotel should be more of a deciding factor than the decor.

A stay at any one of the hotels and guesthouses on Tortola's north side will put you closer to the beach, but not to worry: it doesn't take that long to get from one side of the island to the other. Visitors who want to be closer to Road Town's restaurants and shops can find a handful of places in and around the island's main town.

Sebastian's on the Beach

$$ | North Coast Rd., Apple Bay, British Virgin Islands

Sitting on the island's north coast, Sebastian's has a casual beach vibe and rooms that vary in amenities and price, all of them attractively remodeled following Hurricane Irma, with the 12 oceanfront rooms a bit more up-to-date than those that the hotel calls "tropical." These less expensive rooms are across the street from the ocean and lack views. Those nearest the intersection of North Coast Road and Zion Hill Road suffer from traffic noise. Although you can eat all your meals at the resort's enjoyable restaurant, the Seaside Grille, the wonderful Sugar Mill Restaurant is just a short drive east.
