The BVI’s Scrub Island Has a New Executive Chef

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - February 8, 2023

The Scrub Island private-island resort in the British Virgin Islands has named a new executive chef.

The resort has tapped Chef Greg Best for the role, in which he will oversee operations and menu development at the property’s food and beverage outlets.

He will also direct events in the resort’s 17,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor banquet space.

“In addition to exceptional service, an incomparable location and outstanding amenities, Scrub Island is widely recognized for offering outstanding dining options,” said Scrub Island General Manager Michael Schoonewagen. “With his exceptional track record leading kitchens throughout the Caribbean, I’m confident Chef Best will build on our stellar reputation, taking our culinary team to even higher levels for our guests.”

Best’s two decades of culinary history include stops in The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.

Most recently, he served as the Chef de Cuisine at Virgin Gorda’s Rosewood Little Dix Bay.
