Oil Nut Bay is a 400-acre freehold private island resort community on the eastern tip of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, set in the protected waters of the North Sound and accessible only by boat or helicopter. Please note: the island itself is not for sale. This listing is a guide to the individual villas currently offered for sale within Oil Nut Bay, each listed separately:
The community: Oil Nut Bay is the vision of developer David V. Johnson of Victor International, who brings more than 40 years of experience and over 40 master-planned communities to the project he now calls home. Across 15 low-density neighbourhoods there are 140 homesites ranging from 0.56 to 27.8 acres, with 51 villas and suites built to date, every residence single-family. More than $168 million has been invested in infrastructure and amenities, and half of the 400 acres is preserved as green space.
Ownership: Homesites are currently offered from $2.95 million to $29.5 million, and custom villas of one to six bedrooms from $3.25 million to $32.5 million, all freehold. Ownership is supported by full-service in-house construction, property management, and rental management teams. International buyers purchase with a Non-Belonger Land Holding License; the British Virgin Islands levies a one-time 12 percent stamp duty, no income tax, and minimal annual property tax, with mortgages available and eligibility for BVI residency.
Amenities: The Beach Club is the social heart of the community, with three pools, a swim-up bar, and white sand beach access. Dining spans the overwater Nova restaurant and lounge, a second restaurant, the Marina Market and coffee shop, and private in-villa chefs. The Marina Village anchors a 101-slip deep-water marina accommodating yachts up to 130 feet. Wellness is centred on the overwater Sundara Spa and Studio and a fully equipped wellness centre. Families have the Nut House Kids Club, a Nature Center, and the Rescue Barn, and the activities program runs from tennis and pickleball to a full watersports team offering diving, snorkelling, sailing, kiteboarding, and sunset cruises.
Sustainability: The community operates on solar-assisted power and desalinated water, with all utilities run underground and 50 percent of the land preserved as open green space, so the natural landscape remains the dominant feature.
Access: Oil Nut Bay is reached only by boat or helicopter, which keeps it exceptionally private and secure. Commercial flights from Miami reach Tortola in about 2.5 hours, followed by a 30-minute private boat ride; private jets also serve Tortola, and helicopter charters fly directly from St. Thomas, San Juan, St. Barths, and St. Martin to the community's international heliport, which offers on-site customs and immigration.
