A short boat ride from Tortola lies the sleek Scrub Island Resort, defined by five-star style and service.

This luxury family resort is a firm favourite for those mooring sail boats, thanks to its outstanding facilities and private feel. Once on the Island of Scrub, which is almost vehicle-free, there’s little else to do but enjoy the resort and Scrub’s three beaches. Embrace this peace and privacy or use Scrub as a base to island hop around the rest of the BVI.

The resort’s suites are a great size for families and each come with a fully kitted-out kitchen, providing a self-catering option should you want it. Pick up basic supplies from the small shop downstairs (for a wider choice, shop in Tortola) and eat breakfast and lunch on your balcony or make picnics for a visit to North Beach. The washing and drying facilities come in handy, especially if you want to travel light.
