Under $100 / Caribbean

Start your day off on the right foot with a paddleboard yoga lesson in the island’s beautiful waters. For only $20, you can enjoy a peaceful morning session overseen by a professional instructor. Breeze Paddlesurf also provides private lessons, paddleboard tours and rentals.

 

Grab a quick breakfast and coffee at Island Roots Café on Main, a casual and budget-friendly eatery where you’ll find French-style pastries and coffees. If you need something a bit more, you can also enjoy the full English breakfast.

 

If you’ve already spent your time lounging about the beaches of the British Virgin Islands, go inland for hiking in the islands’ first national park. Sage Mountain is the highest point in both the British and the U.S. Virgin Islands, giving you great views of the ocean and islands nearby. Choose from 12 trails to explore the Caribbean rainforest ecosystem and the park’s restorative vegetation projects.

 

Enjoy an al fresco lunch at De Loose Mongoose. The menu offers your normal light lunch fare, plus the traditional Caribbean rotis, made from curried chicken or vegetables wrapped in a type of flat bread with chutney. Lunch starts at $9.

 

Take a free tour of the Callwood Distillery, the only rum distillery still in operation on the British Virgin Islands, established more than 300 years ago. The distillery retains most of its historic charm, as much of the same distilling processes from centuries ago are still used. Take photos for a small fee or the purchase of a bottle of rum.

 

End your day with a spectacular modern Caribbean cuisine dinner at The Sugar Mill Restaurant, housed inside a 400-year-old estate rum house. Local produce and seafood are heavily present on the menu; choose from delectable options such as Jamaican pulled pork belly ($35) or curried conch ($35).
