The newest development to hit the BVI, Scrub Island, is set to open this fall. And -- let me tell you -- am I excited!The Mainsail Development Group is developing a boutique, luxury villa resort, spa and marina community on this tiny 230-acre island which is just a five minute ferry ride from the Beef Island Airport and within spitting distance of Marina Cay.
It's looking like a dandy of a project -- and a recent flyover I took proved that there was indeed development on the go.
Here's a short list of what's being planned:
- Donovan's Reef Restaurant/Welcome Center
- 65 Marina Slips (35ft-150ft)
- 24 hour Concierge Services
- Boardwalk/Retail Shops
- Fine dining/2,000 SF of meeting space
- Hilltop Wine/Cigar Bar
- Astronomy Observatory
- 3 secluded beaches
- 8 Lagoon style, fresh water swimming pools
- Swim-up Pool Bar and Grille
- Spa facility with ocean view cabanas
- Fitness Center/Tennis Courts
- Helipads
According to the BVI Tourism site, "To continue in the tradition of the island’s peaceful nature, Scrub Island will not exceed more than 200 residents or guests at any given time, even after full development. The primary form of transportation on the island will be golf carts."
