TORTOLA
THE QUINTESSENTIAL CARIBBEAN VISION OF SUN, SAND
AND SEA
by Madelyn Miller
Discover Long Bay. And lose yourself.
A hidden paradise which isn't so hard to find. But it is hard to leave,
And even harder to forget.
Long Bay Resort is a place where people set their own pace. Where everything
seems unspoiled--except for the guests.
Nestled in a secluded 52 acre hillside estate on the island of Tortola,
BVI, Long bay is much more than a beach resort of stunning beauty. Because
something marvelous happens to guests at Long Bay. They become human again.
In Tortola, the warm tropical breezes, the lush vegetation, the exotic,
colorful flora and fauna; they all conspire to soothe and seduce the visitor.
Aided by the insistent whisper of ocean waves, people find themselves slipping
into a different state of mind, even a different world.
Tortol's position in the virgin Islands makes it an excellent vacation
center for day trips to neighboring islands, including Virgin Gorda, Jost
Van Dyke, Peter Island, Cooper Island, and St. Thomas and St. John in the
US Virgin Islands.
In addition, windsuring, yachting and scuba are readily available nearby.
Long Bay has several interesting scuba packages. They offer special
diving packages for women. The four night package is $699 . (call 800-729-9599)
Long Bay's "Scuba dive/Beach Vacation" package provides three two tank
dives
in waters surrounding Tortola with a divemaster/instructor as well as
any needed equipment such as a tank. backpack and weights. Also included

to the dive locations each day. The vacation starts at $849 per person
for seven nights an special rates are available for non-diving companions
