“I couldn’t have asked for a better beginning to our Virgin Gorda vacation than cruising into the remote island destination on, not above, the clear blue waters. After flying into San Juan it was just one short plane ride and a majestic inter-island cruise away from the beautiful island of Virgin Gorda.” Jan and Kevin Traurig, Centuria WI

Deciding to stay at the Sunset Watch Villa in Virgin Gorda is easy. Now let us help you navigate your way to this spectacular island retreat destination. We’ve previously discussed the options for flying and taking inter-island ferries to Virgin Gorda, the third and final option includes both – a short inter-island flight and breathtaking cruise.
Flying over Virgin Gorda
The first part of your trip starts with a flight from any major destination to San Juan, Puerto Rico. From there you’ll take a connecting flight to the island of Tortola (airport code: EIS) in the British Virgin Islands. The connecting flights are operated by either Cape Air or Seaborne Airlines. Both of these island airlines have code sharing relationships with United Airlines and American Airlines, allowing you to rest easy knowing your luggage will travel with you from San Juan to Tortola before catching your ferry into Virgin Gorda.
After arriving in Tortola, you’ll catch a ferry from the most reliable transportation service in the British Virgin Islands – Speedy’s Ferry Services. With a handful of daily ferries from Tortola to Virgin Gorda you’ll be able to find a departure time suitable to your schedule. The 30-minute ferry ride will ease you into the island lifestyle with cold beverages and serene views before docking in Virgin Gorda. Once you arrive in Virgin Gorda, you’re just a short taxi ride away from the Sunset Watch Villa.
The Sunset Watch Villa provides endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. You’ll be able to wake up each morning and choose between an assortment of island activities from snorkeling and diving in the pristine blue waters to touring all the plush private island has to offer. Schedule your island getaway today and start daydreaming about all of the unforgettable memories you’ll be making at Sunset Watch Villa tomorrow.
