Get to know Oil Nut Bay

Found at the north edge of Virgin Gorda, the North Sound area—home to Sir Richard Branson’s Necker and Mosquito Islands, as well as Eustatia Island—describes the area surrounded by its namesake body of water. It’s as central as it is exclusive, well-regarded for its investment opportunities and boasting the very best in low-density Caribbean destinations within a niche micro market. Calm, protected harbors offer safe anchorage for boaters, who can dinghy to resorts, thatched-roof beach bars, and natural wonders ashore. Some of the more remote places are accessible only by sea, due to the bouldering, emerald terrain rising promptly behind the white sand beaches. These igneous hills double as a natural sequester for the region’s more exclusive properties, which soar above the coastline in dramatic fashion away from more tourist-centric spots.

Living in the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands comprise some of the world’s most remote, exclusive, and downright breathtaking real estate, spanning four principal islands—Virgin Gorda, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and Anegada—and a chain of some 50 mostly-uninhabited outliers. As the name infers, this breathtaking archipelago is part of the United Kingdom, but its close proximity to the US mainland, and myriad lifestyle benefits, draws a fully international audience. Most commercial travelers arrive through St. Maarten, St. Thomas or San Juan, taking the final leg by connecting flight or ferry. The BVI property market welcomes leisure-seekers with an array of choices, from eco-conscious new developments with resort amenities to veritable private isles. Rugged, romantic coastlines, coupled with a year-round tropical climate, define paradise in every sense of the word, whether you’re at the helm of your yacht or simply at home.
