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 light aircraft, ferry or water taxi. Landing in Tortola? Take the ferry, or take a water taxi direct to the resort's dock. However you travel, the last stretch is easy: a hire car or a short taxi ride to the resort.

Documents and fees

Fees

A US$10 environmental and tourism levy per person on arrival. If you leave by ferry, there's a US$20 departure tax (air departure tax is usually included in your ticket).

Via St Thomas or San Juan?
