US Virgin Islands

With their pristine beaches in the Caribbean archipelago, facing the Atlantic or the Caribbean Sea, the Virgin Islands are first and foremost an invitation to idleness. But their mountainous nature, crowned by the rainforest and their underwater bottoms encourage you not to stay on the sand all day. Diving, deep-sea fishing, windsurfing, parachuting, water scooter, sailing, kayaking, surfing and hiking are all waiting for you.
