StaffMagnificent Luxury Resort Rises on Scrub Island

Due for completion in late 2007, a new $85 million luxury five star Resort and Spa combines the idyllic British Virgin Island’s setting with the highest standards of visitor care and creature comforts.

The Mainsail Development Group is confident that their significant investment will prove a magnet for the discerning visitor who expects the very best in an exclusive holiday destination.

The new Scrub Island haven is designed to offer the ultimate resort experience. The 100-room boutique Resort, a stunning Spa, a 100 slip Marina and a range of luxury villas offer safe harbour for those who want to sample the BVI in all its splendour. Lush natural foliage surrounds the resort’s three pristine, white sand beaches, protected coves and breathtaking vistas.

The resort comprises two-bed roomed marina suites; and stunning ocean- view Villas with up to 1950 square feet of living space. While the individual homes are spacious three bedroom/four bath residences of approximately 3,500 square feet; featuring private “plunge pools”. Naturally all living accommodations are finished to the highest standards.

The resort’s $2 million Spa will offer the ultimate in relaxation, rejuvenation and renewal as guests kick-back in ocean view cabanas.
Dining options include “Donovan’s Reef”, the casual restaurant on the water adjacent to the landing area; and the “Jumping Monkey” on the North Beach which will offer a fast, cool spot for light meals and drinks.

Completing the resort experience are several outstanding features. These include a marina shopping village; well-stocked wine cellar for every taste; a cutting edge fitness centre and a cigar bar. For the romantic in us all, there’s always the moonlight bar, pool and astronomical observatory offering stunning 360 degree views from the island’s peak.

Scrub Island is a 230 acre private island, located only five minutes from Beef Island airport. Guest arriving by air will take the short boat-trip from Beef Island. Located on the scenic southern shore, it’s also the perfect start point for sailing the islands. Sports fishermen will really appreciate the quick access as they pursue the giant marlin at the world-famous North Drop less than 20 minutes away.
