Luxury Villa Rentals for 2+ people
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a set of over 50 islands and cays. The main islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and Jost van Dyke, but there are also plenty of smaller and even private islands to explore. BVI luxury villas can be found across these islands and offer an unparalleled level of beauty and privacy.
Following the tourism boom of the mid-20th century, BVI became a popular spot thanks to its stunning landscapes and tropical climate. BVI luxury villas started cropping up around that time, with the first being private residences.
Today, BVI luxury villas are available for rent and are the finest accommodation on the islands.
Renting a BVI luxury villa is easy with Rental Escapes. First, find your travel dates and party size. From there, your Rental Escapes villa specialist will present you with the best available villa options. After, your concierge customizes your trip, including transportation, chef service, boat charters, excursions, and more.
BVI luxury villas are located on some of the most beautiful parts of these islands. And for a destination known for its stunning, unspoiled landscapes, that’s really saying something.
The majority of BVI luxury villas are on Tortola and Virgin Gorda, but there are also plenty on smaller islands and cays. This includes private islands like Necker Island and Buck Island.
No matter where you go, you can expect a high level of service and amenities. And because our BVI luxury villas are independently owned and constructed, you’ll also find distinct interior and exterior designs and unique details.

This makes Ariana a perfect base for island hopping.
My All: Comprised of three bungalows on beautiful Trunk Bay Beach, My All is a perfect choice for groups of family and friends travelling together.
