Where to stay for nature in the British Virgin Islands

The 3 best nature stays in the British Virgin Islands run on rooftop solar, keep guest numbers low and set aside whole islands and acres for the wild. From off grid Cooper Island to the 850 acre private island of Guana Island and the 400 acre estate at Oil Nut Bay on Virgin Gorda, these stays are top rated for putting land and energy ahead of crowds, so the Caribbean you came for is still there in the morning.

How we choose the best nature stays in the British Virgin Islands

What earns a place on this list is how these British Virgin Islands nature stays protect the wild habitat and the creatures around them, like Guana Island, a family owned private island of 850 acres capped at just 32 guests, which gives the land and its wildlife room to breathe. Because so few guests share so much acreage, Guana Island keeps the pressure off the habitat that a busier resort would trample.

Guana Island holds 850 acres for only 32 guests and lets the wild island stay wild, so the nature in the British Virgin Islands stays good for the birds, reefs and creatures Guana Island shelters and for the guests who come after you.

We look for that same instinct in stays that give land back and power themselves cleanly, like Oil Nut Bay, which spans 400 acres on the eastern tip of Virgin Gorda with half set aside as protected land and runs on solar power, and Cooper Island Beach Club, a self sufficient off grid resort running entirely on 303 rooftop solar power panels. Because Oil Nut Bay and Cooper Island Beach Club know the families and generations who depend on these islands, protecting the land and the reef is protecting their own future, and yours.
