Miami to the British Virgin Islands: Your BVI Escape Is Closer Than You Think
A direct flight from Miami to Tortola can take you from city life to the shores of the British Virgin Islands in just a few hours. And at the end of the journey, a mile of white sand is waiting.
For travelers dreaming of a luxury BVI resort from Miami, Tortola may be much closer than you think.
American Airlines operates direct flights from Miami (MIA) to Tortola’s Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS), creating an easy gateway from South Florida to the British Virgin Islands and making a spontaneous Caribbean escape considerably more tempting.
From Miami to Tortola -Then Straight to the Beach
Leave Miami behind and arrive directly in Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands.
From EIS, the journey continues across the island toward the quieter West End, where Long Bay Beach Resort sits along a mile-long stretch of white sand.
Tucked between tropical hills and the Caribbean Sea, Long Bay offers an intimate alternative to the larger Caribbean resort experience: beachfront rooms and suites, private villas, The Cure Day Spa, tennis and pickleball, island-inspired dining at historic 1748, and private sailing experiences through the surrounding British Virgin Islands.
No enormous resort complex.
No crowded shoreline.
Just Tortola at a slower pace.
A BVI Weekend Getaway From Miami
With direct Miami–Tortola air service, the British Virgin Islands are no longer only a destination to save for a long annual vacation.
A long weekend can begin with breakfast in Miami and end with bare feet in the sand.
Spend the next few days waking beside the Caribbean, lingering over breakfast, slipping away for a spa treatment, sailing between neighboring islands or doing absolutely nothing at all.
Because sometimes the greatest luxury isn’t having more to do.
It’s finally having nowhere else you need to be.
Stay in Tortola. Explore the British Virgin Islands.
One of the pleasures of choosing a luxury Tortola hotel as your base is that the adventure doesn’t have to end at the shoreline.
Long Bay’s Ocean Fleet can take the experience beyond Tortola to turquoise coves, snorkeling spots and neighboring islands throughout the BVI.
Wake at Long Bay.
Spend the day at sea.
Come home barefoot for dinner at 1748.
It is a different way to experience the Caribbean – part resort escape, part island adventure.
