More good news for the BVI. With the reopening of its Nanny Cay location in May and the recent reopening of its shop in the Soper’s Hole Marina on Tortola, Arawak is now back in full operation after Irma and is once again offering a nice selection of clothing and gifts for the discerning traveller.
Arawak now comprises one furniture/interior store and three gift/clothing stores. Their clothing and gift stores catering to tourists are located in Leverick Bay, Nanny Cay and Soper’s Hole Marinas. They carry a wide selection of tropical clothing, bright tropical sarongs and beachwear (Roxy, Quiksilver and the like), swimwear and UV tops for children, hand batik, delightful hand beaded block printed cotton and a great range of accessories. These shops are favourites of both yacht crews and guests alike.
The stores are open from 9am to 5pm daily.

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.
