If you’re dreaming of a hassle-free tropical island escape, The British Virgin Islands Minister of Health recently announced that fully vaccinated travelers will no longer be subject to arrival day testing and quarantine. They will only need to present a negative pre-arrival test.
Otherwise known as BVI, the islands are geographically part of the Virgin Islands archipelago a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean, to the east of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and north-west of Anguilla and part of the West Indies.
BVI is hoping to help travelers honor missed milestones from birthdays, weddings, family reunions, or honeymoons, and celebrating at one of these destination resorts with loved ones will be well worth the wait – not to mention the stunning views. And, in order to make traveling to the destination a bit more affordable to consumers, TravelZoo has partnered with the British Virgin Islands in collaboration with the destination’s ‘Something to Celebrate’ initiative.
Full of luxury villas and historic resorts, BVI offers a backdrop of beautiful surroundings. Whether travelers prefer relaxation at a private island or a 5-star resort, TravelZoo has curated a number of BVI deals to make the stay as memorable as possible. These offers include savings up to 35%, plus free night stays and perks like dinner and a massage. Travelers can even take advantage of a full-day catamaran charter, traversing nearly 600 nautical miles of turquoise waters. Most of these deals expire in mid-to-late July but in most cases, you can travel up until Thanksgiving. When and where you go is not as important as taking time to really soak in the views.
