By the Caribbean Journal staff

Virgin Gorda’s Oil Nut Bay real estate development has expanded with its new Copper Villas.

The villas, part of the British Virgin Islands project’s Atlantic Ridge neighborhood, “are positioned to take advantage of close proximity to the spa and resort facilities, as well as enjoy the same gentle sea breezes as the neighboring Cliff Suites,” Oil Nut Bay said in a release.

The villas are built into the bluffs on the souther end of Oil Nut Bay.

They are designed to be two or three-bedroom homes with flat copper roofs, natural stone exteriors and infinity-edge plunge pools.

They are designed by OBMI.
