Oil Nut Bay

Top choice in Virgin Gorda


Virgin Gorda is known for its high-end resorts, but Oil Nut Bay takes the cake for over-the-top luxury. Between the manicured hills and the powdered-sugar beach is an ever-growing collection of fabulous villas, more affordable suites (with dreamy infinity pools), plenty of water sports, a spa and wellness center, a kids club, a nature center and more.

If you didn't roll up in your own yacht or helicopter, access is via the hourly ferry from Gun Creek.
