New Year British Virgin Islands holidays
Often referred to as the New Year's Eve capital of the Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands know how to celebrate in style. Boat hopping and yacht hopping different parties is very common, or if you fancy standing somewhere more stable why not try an incredible beach club party on one of the many gorgeous islands. The locals welcome every guest to celebrate with them in style, but don’t forget that in the BVI it is referred to as Old Year’s Night rather than New Year's Eve!
