Scrub Island








For those few who have always wanted to call the British Virgin Islands home…

Welcome to Scrub Island, a unique opportunity in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) to own a fully furnished home alongside a full service marina. The first new luxury resort to be built in the BVI in over 15 years, Scrub Island also features a world-class spa, 3 gourmet restaurants, 3 white sand beaches, a fully outfitted fitness center, gourmet provisioning store and boutique. 
53 slip marina for boats up to 150 feet
The fully-furnished, luxury residence's, villas and suites are all in prime locations throughout the island built around a full service 53-slip marina built to accommodate vessels up to 150 feet in length. Located in the pass between Scrub Island and Great Camanoe, the marina is protected from winds and weather from the prevailing Easterly winds and the northern swells. It features the very best in modern amenities from showers and washrooms, metered electricity, diesel fuel and gasoline, wireless internet, pump-out services, block ice, laundry and a gourmet provisioning store.
Scrub Island marina is far more than a place to berth your yacht with property owners receiving first priority on slip availability and special rates. For the fisherman the marina will become the ultimate location with the 'North Drop' area, the hot spot for the world record billfish only 20 to 30 minutes away.

Optional Resort Rental Program
Each residence, villa and suite will be a wholly and privately owned asset with owners having the option to have their property maintained and rented by the professional resort management team and will receive a share of room revenues from all the units. These who do participate in the rental program can choose to use their home whenever they choose throughout the year.  During the remainder of the year, the resort's professional management team will use their unit to operate a full-service resort and maintain the grounds and public areas of Scrub Island.

Private Beaches – golden sand & intimate views
Scrub Island is blessed with 3 wonderful beaches surrounded by reefs ensuring that the waters are calm and crystal clear. We have all dreamt of that idyllic Caribbean beach with 2 deck chairs, white sand, palm trees and the deep blue sea in the background; that dream is North Beach. A 1,000 foot beach with 10 chaise lounge pairing artfully blended into the natural surroundings. Six of these are secluded from other guests on the beach. Two of these secluded parings come with a hammock. North Beach is only for residents and just what a private, quiet, pristine Caribbean beach should look like. Pavillion Beach is a small beach located directly below the Tierra Tierra cocktail bar and the swimming pools and is the perfect place to pull your chaise lounge into the surf edge and relax. Some of the area best for snorkeling are in the shallow waters surrounding this beach. Accessible only by boat, Honeymoon beach as its name suggests is set up to accommodate those who want to enjoy total relaxation and just watch the world go by. A boat will drop you off with some refreshments of your choice and an island Phone just in case you have forgotten anything. Honeymoon Beach is also a reservations only beach.


For the fishing enthusiast Scrub Island has the closest marina to the North Drop, the hot spot for world-record Blue Marlin. Everything you need is on island – the boat, the guide and the equipment. If your passion is diving or you just want to learn a new sport the Scrub Island Dive Center and Retail Shop caters to all individual needs.

Luxury resort properties are judged on their pools and the Pavilion Pool, with its swim-up bar, 15-foot waterfall, multiple levels, lush foliage and panoramic views of the ocean and near by islands, is most definitely the highlight.
