The BVI’s Oil Nut Bay Is Set to Debut a New Marina Village

 

By the Caribbean Journal staff

The island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands is set to debut a highly-anticipated new destination: the Marina Village at Oil Nut Bay.

The new complex at the luxe Oil Nut Bay development will be anchored by an overwater eatery called Nova, complemented by amenities like a “suspended pool,” overwater hammocks, daybeds, a bar, a coffee shop and a boutique.

That’s along with a new library curated by bespoke book collection designers Ultimate Library.

But the overwater lounge will likely be the biggest draw — and open to the public, with regular ferries running throughout the day — and, naturally, a marina for boaters.

The Marina Village officially opens April 16.
