Thorsten Cook, owner of South Sound Villa, a luxury waterfront vacation rental on Virgin Gorda, contacted me with the following update. He reported, “My villa, the South Sound Villa on South Sound, Virgin Gorda, is expected to be rebuilt by June, 2019. We are happy to announce that we are now accepting guest reservations for July, August and beyond for 2019.”
Thorsten added that their completely new villa will be 50% larger than the old villa and will now have 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms – enough for your extended family or your friends. There will be 16 ceiling fans throughout the entire villa plus mini-split air conditioning units in every room of the villa. In addition, the villa will feature outdoor balconies and verandas for every bedroom, all of which will offer spectacular views of South Sound.

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.
