  Virgin Gorda villas, Virgin Gorda villa rental, Virgin Gorda vacation rentals
Virgin Gorda villa rentals are especially popular among visitors seeking private accommodations, solitude and independence, truly the essence of what Virgin Gorda villas so openly provide, on an island known for its exclusive resort facilities and posh, self-sufficient hotels.
The lifestyle on Virgin Gorda is considerably slower-paced than that on St. Thomas—or even Tortola for that matter—which may be appealing to vacation seekers focused on solitude, evenings in, and unstructured time.
Swimming in the great granite grottos at the Baths is Virgin Gorda’s postcard persona, but the destination is even more than that and a vacation spent in any of the private Virgin Gorda villa rentals scattered about the island puts you in touch with its unique Caribbean allure.

 VIRGIN GORDA
The Admiral was amused by the shape of Vir­gin Gorda, which from a distance re­sembles the reclining figure of a pregnant woman.
A deputy governor and council were appointed, and Virgin Gorda be­came the first capital of the British Virgin islands, which it remained until 1742, when the seat of government was trans­ferred to Tortola.
Virgin Islands planters and their families lived in greathouses, which were usually modest affairs consisting of three compartments -- two bedrooms and a combination drawing and dining room-built on hillsides to take advantage of prevailing trade winds.

 DPU- Virgin Gorda Administration Building
Whereas in the past, Virgin Gorda residents had to travel to Tortola to conduct government business, centralisation of services on the island via the establishment of a administration complex, is expected to positively impact savings to residents as expenses incurred as a result of transport, accommodation, time etc. will be reduced.
Statistics also revealed that approximately 8.4% of total government professionals were based in on Virgin Gorda and that although the island accounted for some 35% of all government revenue (other than financial services) collected, a significant portion of that revenue was being lost as a result of poor enforcement of regulations and revenue ordinances.
Centralisation of services in Virgin Gorda via the establishment of a government complex, is regarded as one of the mediums through which increased administrative capacity especially as it relates to institutional efficiency and revenue generation, will be achieved.
