I’ve done lots of searches, but I’m hoping to get some decent (2020 and later) input on everyone’s absolute favorite spots in the BVI. TIA!

I would have to say our own place, but that won't help you much! Are you chartering a boat or staying on land? Where will you be?

Our favorites are Indigo Beach House, CGB, Sid’s, Anegada, Tipsy Shark, JVD and our boat smile. In all our trips we still have yet to try Coco Maya and aren’t at base long enough to try Brandywine.

FYI - I know it's not a great bay, but they do offer free overnight moorings with dinner and you pretty much always have it to yourself. Looks like a decent dingy dock; very short walk to restaurant.

Agree with many of these above. We just got back and had a great experience enjoying late afternoon cocktails at Saba and then went to Bitter End for a delicious sunset dinner.

Our other favorite (2 for 1) was going to have drinks at Cow Wreck and then lunch and more drinks at Ann's Tipsy (then back to Cow Wreck for one more). Ann's food was awesome. I can't imagine a more picture perfect setting than those two places.

Along with many already mentioned above, I'll add B-Line on Little Jost for a really cool beach bar afternoon, and One Love on JVD for lunch! The lobster quesadilla's are fantastic!

Agree with most of the above but The Sugar Mill (upstairs) is my go to local. Great food, lovely ambiance and great staff. Best lunch value on Tortola? A two course lunch at Patricia's beach bar in Smuggler's Cove ...$8 for an ice cold Red Stripe and a killer hot dog!! When I have to go to Road Town I really like Capriccio by the ferry dock for great pizza and pasta at a reasonable price..

Sorry for the late response! We're now less than 2 months out, so I'm finishing my plans. We are bareboating a moorings 514 power cat. We did the same boat at the same time of year in 2020. (The beginning of the pandemic aka toilet paper shortage in the U.S. started while we were on our trip. rofl ) We're very excited to return.

Thank you to everyone for your responses. The info online can be so overwhelming and I try to plan a trip that all 8 of us will enjoy as much as possible.
