Head to Tortola, the largest island in the archipelago, to pay a visit to Road Town – the capital of the BVI. This lively town also happens to be the party capital of the archipelago, with live music and dancing throughout the bars and clubs until the early hours. Visit the nautical-themed Pusser’s Pub and the open-air Dockside Bar, which has live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
As a key BVI yachting hub, Road Town also has sheltered harbours, plenty of mooring opportunities and marinas in the centre of town for a short stumble home. Alternatively, head over to Cane Garden Bay on the north side of the island for the Paradise Club. This buzzing beach bar has live music and full-moon parties with psychoactive mushroom tea (don’t worry, it’s legal) while firepits and tiki torches light up the beach.
