Think of it this way: St Barth houses rent for about $4,000 per room, per week and up. Restaurant dinner tabs are €100 pp and up. During New Years Festivities, a solid third of the world's largest yachts are nearby.

If the question is strictly how to bring in the highest dollar visitors, it is a very different world.

BVIs are comfortable, somewhat rural and quirky. That being said, a week on Anegada or Virgin Gorda can be the most serene experience in the world.
