If you are planning a perfect getaway to a relaxing BVI holiday, there is one event that you absolutely have to include on your holiday to-do list.

Once a month, on the night of the full moon, the best party on in the British Virgin Islands takes place in a shack on the beach in Cappoon’s Bay in West End.  Specifically, the party happens at Bomba’s Shack, which is kind of an island landmark.

The legendary Bomba built his shack on the beach back in the late 1970s.  He didn’t have a lot of cash, so the hangout is a true “shack”; made out of driftwood, broken surfboards and whatever else he could find lying around on the beach.  Bomba’s Shack quickly grew into a popular spot to hang out, especially for local surfers.  Bomba hosts a few surfing competitions every year.

The Full Moon party in Tortola started back in 1989, and it has taken place on every full moon since then.  It’s a night of dancing and limin’ (a local expression for just hanging out).  It’s a great party, and an excellent way to welcome in the full moon, but you should leave the kids at home.

The full moon party is just one of the great and memorable things you can do when you book one of the best Tortola villas here in the British Virgin Islands.   Don’t worry if you’ve missed it!  Just like the full moon, another great party at Bomba’s Shack is just a few weeks away!
