Oil Nut Bay on Virgin Gorda released the following announcement highlighting more good news on the resurgence of the BVI. They reported, “There’s no question the British Virgin Islands are bouncing back in full force after hurricanes Irma and Maria swept through the islands almost a year ago. Leading the way on the island of Virgin Gorda, BVI is Oil Nut Bay, an eco-luxe resort community that recently broke ground on one of the first new villas since the hurricane.”
The contemporary courtyard-style villa will eventually be a part of Oil Nut Bay’s rental program, is designed by M+T AD and is a contemporary contrast to the standard island design. The most unique part of the villa is its entrance, which looks modest from the outside but sits on the roof offering dramatic views of the sea and Necker Island. Other stand out features of the 4,000 sq. ft., four-bedroom villa includes a private Zen garden, outdoor shower, secluded floating pool and a wood clad yoga deck. In addition, a landscaped path will lead to a completely private slice of Oil Nut Bay’s pristine beach

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.
