The big question I am getting from tourists is: “Are there any places to rent in the BVI after Irma?”. Well, Mac Tyre who runs Purple Pineapple Villa Rentals says there are. He has several villas ready and available for tourism that are located hillside just above Little Apple Bay. Rent one of these units and you can enjoy unobstructed panoramic views of the azure sea dotted with sailboats from Jost Van Dyke and Sandy Cay over to Cane Garden Bay.

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.
