BRITISH ISLAND LUXURY RESORT OIL NUT BAY BECKONS BEACH BUMS TO BASK IN THE SAND AND SUN ALONG COOL, BLUE WATERS

BY ARCHANA AITHAL ROSE

Located on the eastern tip of the sensational Virgin Gorda, this scenic getaway is ideal for solace seekers searching for a socially distanced escape. Accessible by boat or helicopter, Oil Nut Bay is enveloped by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea in one direction and the Atlantic Ocean in the other. A multitude of custom designed modern luxury villas in vertiginous clifftop settings dots the resort’s pristine 300 acre property, each offering unique features. From the contemporary Italian design of Villa Maronti with a jaw dropping infinity pool to the earthy aesthetic of Villa Sol Mate with a copper roof and stone interiors, the resort appeals to a range of vacationers. Guests can shake off the ordinary with a carefully curated list of activities like snorkeling, reef fishing, and wind sports, or simply hit reset with soul-soothing signature spa treatments. Take a break from sun soaked activities (or just from lounging on your beach chair) to feast on world class fare and tropical cocktails at the Rum Bible in the Pavilion, offering 52 different rums.
