2. I love my work but just like everyone else, I
also feel the need to leave my stress and
worries behind once in a while to give myself a
refreshing break. I usually do this every year
during my birthday as it’s a brilliant excuse for
me to go for a luxurious beach vacation. It’s
also a way I like to thank and reward myself
for all the hard work I do all year round.
People who know me well are aware of how
much I love blue watered beaches, white sand,
blue sky and beautiful people which for me is a
perfect combination for getaways.

4. This year I chose to head to the British Virgin
Islands in the Caribbean. The British Virgin
Island is made of four main and many small
islands. I decided to visit a private island called
Scrub Island owned by Marriott. I enjoyed the
gorgeous beaches and landscape from
September 3rd
to 8th
which was enough for me
to explore the island. If you are looking for
beach vacation ideas then Caribbean vacation
should definitely be on your list. Here are some
activities I did and places I explored in British
Virgin Island.
5. PRIVATE BOAT CHARTER
To admire the island in its best form with no
limitations I decided to get on a private boat
charter. I was allotted a captain which almost
felt like having a private boat experience. It
was fun and a really safe way to get to all the
islands around.

7. HELICOPTER RIDE
This was cherry on the cake experience on my
beach vacation. This was an amazing one hour
ride wherein I got a bird’s eye view of all the
beautiful islands. We explored Tortola and
Necker Island (private Island entirely owned
by Richard Branson, the Chairman of the
Virgin Group). We also saw a gorgeous view of
St. John’s and St. Croix Islands through the
helicopter ride. I would suggest this to anyone
who is planning a beach or Caribbean vacation
in the near future. But of course, I wouldn’t
advise you to get on the helicopter if you are
afraid of heights.

9. JOST VAN DYKE ISLAND
This was a stunning island with gorgeous blue
water. I had a really relaxing time at this island
by unwinding in a comfortable hammock at the
beach. I also went to restaurants called Foxy’s
Beach Bar and Soggy Dollar Bar which are both
great places to have delicious food and drinks.

11. VIRGIN GORDA BATHS
Virgin Gorda is a beautiful rocky island and it
was really fun exploring some stunning caves. I
believe fitness enthusiasts and adventurous
people would love this island as it involves a lot
of climbing and getting lost in the caves. And
of course a beach vacation is incomplete
without snorkeling so after exploring the caves
we headed back to the water and snorkeled. I
was lucky to see some lobsters, octopus and
colorful fish.

14. The resort Island had everything we needed
though things were slightly slower. However,
it’s a perfect destination for beach lovers like
me.

17. On my birthday I went for a quiet private
dinner party. I love local Lobster however it
was out of season, so we had a 2bl Lobster from
Main.

19. It was such a great experience and I can’t think
of a better way to have celebrated my birthday
this year. Caribbean islands are known for its
clear water and white sand beaches which is
why I was lured to opt for a Caribbean
vacation. Now, I am back to work and already
started exploring my options to pick my next
vacation spot.
