Our favorite private British Virgin Islands
Why should you spend holidays with unknown people when you can be alone with your beloved, friends or family... If you're looking for a romantic, sporty, discreet, luxurious or gastronomic escape, go straight to private islands from British Virgin Islands.
The most discreet one, Guana Island
From your arrival to Tortola airport, a boat drives you in only 15 minutes to this discreet and sophisticated island. Its story was marked by the presence, from the 18th Century, of a Quaker community. The island of 350 hectares has the Sugarloaf Mountain as its highest summit (241 meters). Here, the top of gastronomy is to be savored thanks to Chef Xavier Gili who cooks tropical products from his own orchard. Pink flamingos and iguanas are also part of this Garden of Eden.
Price : Room for 2 persons starting at 850€/night (3 meals included)
The most eco-friendly one, Cooper Island Eco Beach Club
We can only fall in love with this charming family eco-resort, close to the most beautiful snorkelling and scuba-diving places including the Royal Mall Steamer Rhone grounded 150 years ago and the famous cave from "Treasure Island" by Stevenson, with hundreds of fishes and turtles. Its restaurant and rum bar with more than 100 references attracts the beautiful people.
Price : three nights starting at 1 380€
The smallest one, Saba Rock Island
Really small but unescapable, this island located on the prestigious Virgin Gorda bay is the neighbor of Neker Island (Richard Branson), Eustatia (Larry Page, Google co-founder), Yacht Club Costa Esmeralda (Aga Kahn)... facing the famous Bitter End Yacht Club. Its 8 rooms nicely decorated are named after Caribbean Islands and, we love to savor a cocktail or a diner here.
Price : starting at 180€/night for the smallest rooms to 795€ for the suites
The most legendary one, Peter Island Resort & Spa
30 minutes away by boat from Tortola, Peter Island is the most important private island from British Virgin Islands, famous for its story with legendary pirate Blackbeard. Only 15% of its surface area is exploited to leave space to a genuine haven of peace with strolls at the heart of the nature opportunities. The lovers appreciate the privatization of the "Honey Moon Beach" made of white sand but also the Spa specialized in ayurvedic treatments or the "sunset" cocktail with an amazing view on the Virgin Islands. So romantic !
Price : Beach Front Junior Suites starting at 400€ /night/person
The most famous one, Necker Island & Moskito Land
The famous private island belonging to Sir Richard Branson is a genuine Eden with Balinese architecture inspirations where giant turtles, pink flamingos and lemurs are free to walk. If the whole island is often privatized (for 34 adults, around 80 000 € per night), you can rent some individual villas starting at 31 000€ per week (all inclusive). By 2018, a new island called Moskito Island will be opened and available for renting.
The coolest one, Scrub Island Resort & Spa Marina
Less than 1,5 kilometer away from Tortola main island and 10 minutes away by boat from the international airport, Scrub Island Resort Spa & Marina is a cool island to start and finish your escape on Virgin Islands. Member of Autograph Collection by Marriott, Scrub Island is a nice resort for demanding clients. The service is really effective and, Scrub offers a wonderful Spa with prestigious villas. Facing the island, you can enjoy the famous Full Moon Parties by Trellis Bays.
