BVI Property Profile of the Week - Sugar Mill Villa, Nail Bay

Recommended by Frommer's, Travel+Leisure, and the Best of the British Virgin Islands, Nail Bay on Virgin Gorda offers a unique blend of villas, apartments, and rooms -- all with the best sunsets in the British Virgin Islands. Perched on 150-acres, Nail bay is nestled below Gorda Peak, within a 19h century historic sugar plantation and teeming with private sugary beaches.

The property boasts a reliable water supply ,underground utilities, ADSL internet, satellite television (but why would you need it), and iPod stations. The roads within Nail Bay have been paved, and generators have been installed to automatically provide stand-by electricity to all lots together with a state-of-the art internal water distribution system served by a new desalination plant at Nail Bay.  This major Infrastructure Project valued well in excess of four million dollars.

Of the many options at Nail Bay, one of the most striking villas is the Sugar Mill House, which provides 360-degree views of the Copper Mine Ruins, Gorda Peak, the Dog Islands, Anegada, Tortola, and St. John. The villa is complete with its own rooftop pool, waterfall, and tropical gardens facing the sea, along with a series of stone walls, terraces, and balconies. The Sugar Mill House has two bedrooms (plus a pull out couch), three and half bathrooms, three gourmet kitchens, two outdoor dining areas, and an indoor dining area. The Sugar Mill House is based on a replica of a historic sugar bill and its ideally located near Savannah Bay, Little Dix Bay and Long Bay.

Recently, Nail Bay provided a $25,000 gift to be used as a challenge grant by the BVI Charitable Fund to kickoff a major sponsorship campaign for the Virgin Islands Winemakers' Dinners.  The proceeds of these dinners will benefit the BVI Red Cross, St. Mary's School, Virgin Gorda and St. George's Secondary School, Tortola.  Ajit Mathew George, Managing Director of Nail Bay Resort, states that he hopes the $25,000 gift will inspire the business community in the BVI along with those who owned vacation homes and resorts in the BVI, particularly in Virgin Gorda.
