There’s a new villa to try in Virgin Gorda — and it’s right on the beach.

The island’s Oil Nut Bay development has announced the addition of the four-bedroom Seashell Beach Villa to its rental pool.

The 5,084-square-foot beachfront villa, which is available now through June 1, has four bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a fitness room, a 943-square-foot pool and a 1,746-square-foot terrace.

The property is located directly on the sand, with amenities like a large Great Room with an integrated sound system, automated floor-to-ceiling glass doors and a gourmet kitchen.

The villa is just a short stroll to Oil Nut Bay’s Beach Club.
