This Caribbean Island Has 6 National Parks, White-sand Beaches, and a Gorgeous Luxury Resort

"“Seafood and sushi await at Nova, the open-air, overwater dining destination at Oil Nut Bay's Marina Village. Tie up the boat and spend the day perusing the surrounding shops, swimming off the dock and from a small, sandy beachfront, and lounging in beach chairs; then, order from the happy hour menu just before sunset.”" - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

Private island with the finest food, drinks, service and ambience. Everything is pristine as soon as you arrive. Drinks are excellent and unique and special to ONB. The dock has foosball table, pool table, lounge bed and pool. We enjoyed our luxurious visit for dinner. Absolutely stunning views!

TLDR: Vegan options exist, but they are mostly bland, and you'll wait 1-2 hours for your food. Atmosphere: modern, clean, and generally one of the nicer restaurants in the BVI. No real complaints about the atmosphere except that while trying to enjoy a nice quiet meal, they turned on all the TVs and projector for the cavemen to watch sportsball. When paying almost $100/person, I do not want to hear screaming people and loud announcers. Service: All of the servers were nice, but it took one hour and 45 minutes for us to receive our food after ordering. There is "Island Time" and then there is just bad kitchen management. Food: There are lots of vegan options, but it was all so bland except for the soup. The soup not only was seasoned well with salt but also had a nice spice. Everything else just felt like it was veggies on a plate. Nothing interesting, just boring. This restaurant is far from "luxury." Considering this is one of the premier restaurants in the area, I'm surprised the ratings are so high.

This place is expanding quick! Came here by Yacht a few times in the spring of 2022. The bay has about 10 mooring balls available and there is a small marina with slips available. The best kept secret of the BVI for now. No one really travels beyond Saba Rock by boat to find e in here, so the seclusion is quite refreshing. Many times I'm the only one moored out here. The snorkeling is great. The restaurant and bar at Nova is excellent. I haven't been disappointed by the service, drinks or food here. A small pool is situated just at the front of the seating area overlooking the bay. There is a toilet/ shower facility as well as a tiny provisions/coffee shop here as well. Two boutique shops are here with clothing offerings. I'm hopeful this place remains "busy" with just the resort guests and not go hot on the charter yacht radar. Certainly looking forward to more visits in the future.

Always amazing. Great service and food. Lucky enough to try the brunch menu on this Saturday visit. Love the Top chairs. Easy dinghy ride over from the North Sound or grab one of the many mooring balls in deep bay.

Beautiful area of the island. A little out the way from the rest of the usual island spots. Very soothing area with a stiff sea breeze. The restaurant has a beautiful set up with unique furniture, pool and lounge areas. The service and food was only ok considering the price. The menu was a little confusing. I ordered a fried mahi mahi fish and chip plate from a section that described it as a large shareable portion. It was barely a portion for one person when it arrived. The service couldn't explain the reason for this. Another in the party ordered 3 different sushi rolls and only received one. When he asked where the other two were the server seemed to have no idea what he was talking about and asked if he actually ordered 3 rolls. She went back and checked and ended up bringing the 2 other rolls right out. Not sure what that was about. We didn't want to make an issue of it so we just ate what we got.
