"Virgin Islands" is an album by the German cross-cultural new age band Cusco. It was released originally in 1983, and is currently available from the Prudence label under the title ""Virgin Island".

This album contains several tracks which were later revisited for the 1990 release Water Stories on Higher Octave Music, including "Sun of Jamaica", "Seychelles" and "Java". "Alcatraz" also appears on Water Stories, but it should be noted that the track on this album is itself a revisited track from the band's debut album Desert Island. Many discographies show this as a 1984 release, but early LP releases verify the 1983 release year.
