"What started in the 1960s as a simple outpost for sailors is now one of the most recognizable institutions in the British Virgin Islands. Home to multiple dining venues, small boutiques, and luxe, nautical-inspired accommodations, it’s worth a stay, not just a quick visit, and it also boasts the only overwater bungalows in the BVI. Facing Saba Rock across the North Sound, it has fed off that vibrant atmosphere for decades, creating a lively yet low-key feel that makes the area a happy hour haven." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"A storied sailors' outpost since the 1960s that has grown into a full-property destination with multiple dining venues, small boutiques, and luxe, nautical-inspired accommodations; it underwent an extensive rebuild after significant hurricane damage in 2017 and now features the only overwater bungalows in the territory. The property's deep ties to sailing culture reflect wider local strengths: "With over 60 islands to visit, you can easily hop from one island or bay to another depending on whether you are in the mood for a lively beach bar atmosphere or a quiet cove," says Loïc Bonnet, president of Dream Yacht Worldwide, and, more generally, "the British Virgin Islands offer some of the best conditions for sailing in the Caribbean, with consistent trade winds, calm waters, and numerous sheltered anchorages," — Loïc Bonnet." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
