Only a two hour flight from the east coast, lies an island oasis where you can leave the pressures of the city behind. One of the twelve smallest places in the world, a secret hideaway of only 21 secluded square miles awaits you. Relax in a private cottage or explore one of the more than 130 surrounding islands. Known for its pink sand beaches and turquoise waters, this British territory is also famous for the Bermuda Triangle. As a result of the sharp coral reefs, there are many shipwrecks that make for great diving experiences and bring the legend of the "Triangle" to life.
