BIRAS CREEK RESORT
Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands
 
 
By Lynn McKamey (ScubaMom)
 
 Biras has always been an upscale, unique Caribbean destination, and yet, almost a "best kept secret" of those who desire romantic relaxation in beautiful surroundings. 

My husband Kenneth and I first visited Biras Creek in November 1994 and  returned for our 16th visit to this secluded paradise during 2007.  A recent refurbishment of the entire property brought the resort to even greater heights of casual sophistication with the addition of some modern touches and subtle enhancements while retaining the same enchanting atmosphere. 
 

 
Biras strikes a perfect balance between being a small exclusive inn and a large, full service resort - with 32 accommodations, it is big enough to offer all the on-site and off-island activities of larger hotels, yet intimate enough to retain all the personal attention which guests expect and appreciate. Or, for those who would rather be mostly alone - just the two of you - Biras is a very special hide-away. The lovely suites are far more spacious than many "rooms" in the BVI, much more privately located, and only a few steps from a gorgeous shell strewn seashore.  A lovely crescent shaped beach and bay for relaxing and watersports is just a short bike ride or stroll away. 

Biras has a divine setting, uniquely centered between three bays and three steep hills. Most of the property has been left in its natural state of lush tropical forests, yet walkways and areas near the rooms have been meticulously landscaped and are full of colorful flowers.

For those who appreciate fine cuisine, Biras's menus and wine list will provide an array of culinary delights.  Over the years, it has received some of the highest ratings as one of the Best Hotel Restaurants in the Caribbean. 
 
The hotel is also one of the prestigious members of Relais & Chateau, a consortium of quality country hotels, country manors, and upscale inns located throughout Europe, North America, Mexico and the Caribbean. 

Biras Creek has become one of the most popular resorts in the British Virgin Islands.  Browse through my review to see why...
