Mango Bay sits on the beautiful island of Virgin Gorda, just 10–15 minutes' drive from the airport and the ferry dock. Most guests connect through Miami, San Juan, St Thomas, Antigua or St Maarten, then hop across by small plane, ferry or water taxi. However you travel, the last stretch is easy: a hire car or a short taxi ride to the resort. New vision, same heart.
