Sidney’s Peace and Love in Little Harbour, Jost Van Dyke is known as a second home to many patrons across the globe. Their dishes are served with LOVE and their famous lobsters bring you PEACE. They offer a unique honor bar system and self service bar where you can mix your own drinks anyway you like. Sydney’s posted the following report after Irma hit with a vengeance and landed a ferry boat directly on top of the restaurant. “On September 6th Hurricane Irma destroyed it all. We are still in shock to see how our business of over 40 years, was taken from us in the wink of an eye. We seek your assistance to recreate and renovate our family bar and restaurant so that we can serve you our many customers once again. We thank you all in advance for generous donations.” Fortunately, for all of those who know and love Sydney’s, they have persevered and are now proud to say they open for business again!

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.
