One of the British Virgin Islands’ premier luxury developments is planning several major openings for the winter season.

Oil Nut Bay, set on the island of Virgin Gorda, will unveil a total of seven new villas available for rent for the winter season, while adding a new boutique spa and a redesigned welcome pavilion with a new pool, bar and lounge.

Oil Nut Bay will launch its Bay Suites in December, a collection of four one-bedroom villas on the mountainside, featuring private terraces and outdoor showers.

Following the launch of the Bay Suites will be the debut of Oil Nut Bay’s Marina Village, which will feature a casual-dining restaurant, locally-sourced boutiques and more.

The Marina Village will also include three new villas in the rental pool.
