Sandra Tranter, owner of Palm Grove Villa in Belmont Estate on Tortola, contacted me with the following update. She said, “Our lovely villa in Belmont is now restored post Irma and is once again available for bookings. Please arrange for an entry as part of your villa listings so visitors know we are open for business.”
Located on the North Shore of Tortola, this elegant two bedroom, two bath villa looks out over a luscious coconut palm grove, with stunning panoramic sea views to neighbouring island Jost Van Dyke. Long Bay Beach and Smugglers Cove Beach are just a couple of minutes walk away – either one perfect for an early morning swim or late afternoon stroll.
Constructed in a classic multi storied style with sparkling white stucco walls and high ceilings, the villa enjoys gently cooling sea breezes. Air conditioning is also available in both bedrooms.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
