About Road Town
Road Town is the capital of the British Virgin Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the northeastern Caribbean, with about 8,000 residents on the southern coast of Tortola and serving as the country's political, commercial, and port center. The local economy is dominated by offshore financial services, with the territory hosting one of the world's largest registries of international business companies, alongside tourism centered on yacht charter from the Sir Francis Drake Channel. English is the sole official language. The climate is tropical with consistent warm temperatures and a hurricane-influenced wet season; Hurricane Irma in 2017 caused catastrophic damage. Road Town suits relocators with specific financial services or yacht-sector employment willing to manage British Overseas Territory work permit requirements and post-hurricane infrastructure recovery.
