Ivan’s Stress Free Bar in White Bay on Jost Van Dyke posted the following update on their Facebook page: “Happy New Years to all our wonderful Facebook family and friends. As you all know.. we suffered complete loss of Ivan’s stress free bar and campground during the storms and the guesthouses severely damaged . Because of this we were unable to communicate with you our Stress Free family and other guest of Ivan’s . We have lost so much in the storm and will have to start over from scratch again. We will be reopening for the 2018 season on a smaller scale. We will be running the bar in a temporary location serving your special drinks and also a few items for lunch. For those that would like to still come to the island, we welcome you to bring your tents along and camp with us like the Beginning times at Ivan’s . There will be no charge for tent camping at this time .. however if you would like to make a donation towards rebuilding or beautiful Stress Free Paradise you are welcome to do so. The Stress Free Bar is now open from 10am to 6pm while the kitchen is open for lunch 11am to 3pm.

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.
