The North Sound in Virgin Gorda is often known as the Billionaire’s playground of the BVI due to high net worth and celebrity status’s invest in the natural beauty the Virgin Islands has to offer.
The sound comprises of 5 islands; Virgin Gorda, Moskito Island, Necker Island, Prickly Pear and Eustatia Island and is home to some of the BVI hotspots:
Saba Rock
Saba Rock is one of the favourite places to go in the BVI as it quite literally has everything to offer from a little rock in the North Sound – a boutique hotel, a beach with a hammock, a restaurant, bar, a pool table, a spa and watersports including kitesurfing and e-foiling and of course 2 very instagrammable British phone boxes.
Bitter End Yacht Club
For nearly half a decade, The Bitter End Yacht Club (BEYC) has been the place for all things sailing and adventure giving it a world-class status amongst the sailing community. Perfectly located in the North Sound, the BEYC has recently relaunched it’s overwater bungalows called, The Lofts where guests can stay in a sailor like room made fully of sustainable materials giving the ambience of being on the water.
Outside of this, you can moor up your boat, enjoy food and drinks at the yacht club, frolick around the beach playing beach games with friends and family.
Oil Nut Bay Marina Village
