Perched in a very private spot on Big Scrub Island in the British Virgin Islands, Wali Nikiti is a truly inspired and inspirational Villa. At Wali Nikiti indoor and outdoor living are one and the same. The owners relied on innovative materials and artistic flourish to create their one-of-a-kind, open-air house. Cocooned in foliage from Broom Palms and Turpentine trees, Wali Nikiti is a tranquil haven set in two acres of land spilling down to the Atlantic Ocean. The two-bedroom main house was completed in 2010. There are plans for five, very private cottages to be built around the main house. All five cottages are designed to have outdoor showers using the natural boulders and vegetation to afford privacy. Leaf-canopied steps form the approach to the main entrance porch where two hardwood, Yourola tree trunks feature as columns. A 5’ x 8’ door made of panels of Purple Heart and Kabukalli pivots open on a fulcrum to reveal the upper living level of Wali Nikiti. Constructed of concrete and hardwood throughout, an impressive 50-foot circumference hardwood beam and synthetic-thatch roof caps the house. The roof withstood everything Hurricane’s Irma and Maria could throw at it and came out intact! In fact damage to the home really was minimal and what little there was has largely been repaired. The house, with pigment colored concrete floors, is designed in different levels to form an organic and appealing view from within: Each level delineates the areas of the house. The heart of Wali Nikiti is the custom designed kitchen specifically built to demonstrate, instruct, and invite guest participation in the art of cooking. The culinary hub features a center island with a professional stove, a wood burning oven and a country fireplace for creating wood grilled dishes. A shallow 5’ Carrara marble sink runs along the back wall. Meals can be served in the covered dining area or in the al fresco eating area, just across from the 20’ x 10’ pool and wooden deck area. Descending a few steps down from the kitchen area you come into the living area, which faces out to the north. The view is as far as you can see to the Atlantic Ocean, where during the wintertime you may spot breaching whales. The large built-in concrete couch, covered in comfortable pillows to create an area of relaxation and tranquility. Stepping down from the living area, you enter the cozy media room with low slung, built-in seating. To the right of the living area is the dining area, enclosed by a low wall so as not to block the view towards the sea. Adjoining is the swimming pool, 3 feet higher than the dining room floor, where a cascade of water flows, creating a soothing sound of running water. A large dining table that can accommodate 12 people dominates the dining area. The entire house is designed in natural earth tones with hardwood featured as the dominant building material. Ethnic objects d’art feature as the decorative element. On the lower sleeping level, lattice wooden shutters allow a constant natural breeze to circulate in the two, fan-cooled double guest rooms. Each bedroom has a private outside shower. The rooms can be accessed from the upper level from two stairways. Unusual detailing throughout Wali Nikiti combines to create a unique living space: From a counter top embedded with segments of fiber-optic lit colored glass to the suspended tree limbs sporting vine-held lights to the 14’ solid slab of ironwood dining table to the earth-tone pigmented concrete floors on staggered levels, to the gentle waterfall that cascades into the dining area, Wali Nikiti is anything but predictable and ordinary.

Adjoining is the swimming pool, 3 feet higher than the dining room floor, where a cascade of water flows, creating a soothing sound of running water. A large dining table that can accommodate 12 people dominates the dining area. The entire house is designed in natural earth tones with hardwood featuring as the dominant building material.

Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina was the first luxury, private-island resort development to be built in the British Virgin Islands in more than 15 years when it opened in February 2010. Scrub Island was the first luxury Resort to reopen in the BVI following Hurricanes Irma and Maria and has continued to go from strength to strength. BVIStrong, ScrubIslandStrong Coldwell Banker Real Estate BVI is very excited to to have teamed up with Mainsail BVI Ltd. who developed the island and is the resort management company. The Resort is named after its location on Scrub Island, a serene 230-acre haven situated one mile from the east end of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Scrub Island was first discovered by Christopher Columbus nearly 500 years ago while serving as a stopping point for European explorers in route to new lands. Legend has it that its name came from pirates who dropped anchor in the area to ---scrub--- barnacles off of their boats. The island remained relatively untouched for centuries. Scrub Island is fringed by three pristine beaches that shelve gently into the Caribbean Sea. It features protected coves, nature trails and stunning scenery. EASY TO REACH Located just one mile off the coast of Tortola, the largest island in the BVIs and home of the capital and largest city, Road Town. Upon arrival at EIS, our owners and guests are escorted to Trellis Bay, for a 10-minute ride aboard our private luxury Powercat to Scrub Island. It is also centrally located amongst the islands that make up the BVI, making it very convenient for island hopping and exploring all of our beautiful secluded beaches and welcoming island-style bars and restaurants. EASY TO PURCHASE We---ve put together a very experienced BVI real estate team to ensure that we make the purchasing process as simple as possible. We understand merely the thought of buying property on a private Caribbean island might result in a few sleepless nights, so we are committed to hold your hand through the entire process. EASY TO OWN Scrub Island offers homeowners an entirely optional, competitive rental program, designed to offset the costs of ownership. It---s your home, after all, so you decide when you use it, not us. But if you do decide to join our program, then you can benefit from revenues and occupancy rates that have been consistently higher than any other BVI luxury Resort property. This is largely due to the quality of the Scrub Island condos and villas and because of the affiliation with Marriott. The Scrub Island team looks after all things marketing and maintenance, leaving you to relax and enjoy your island home.

The world has gone entirely mad! Escape to the British Virgin Islands and live the dream. On the island of Great Camanoe, just off Beef Island, Tortola, there are only a handful of homes but a whole lot of peace and quiet! Sandy Point allows for complete and total relaxation. This truly beachfront home with a dock allows you to live as one with the ocean and nature. It was the first Lot to be developed on Privateers Estate, Great Camanoe, because it was arguably in the best location for water and beach access, ocean and island views and breezes. It is accessible only by dock or on foot from the communal Privateers Estate dock, allowing for complete privacy. Yet it is only a few minutes boat ride from Trellis Bay and Beef Island airport so very easy to get to. CLICK HERE to take a 3D virtual tour Designed and built by a seasoned European sailor, this home is simple, practical and works. Nothing to stress about. It is built almost entirely of local stone so very strong and was strengthened even further following the passage of Hurricane Irma. The 1.4 acres of gardens are criss-crossed by natural stone pathways. The home was built with very large cistern and water storage capacity so no issues there, although a desal plant could easily be installed if required. The interiors of the home, as might be expected from a seasoned Nordic sailor, are simple but easily upgraded to suit your tastes. What matters more about this entirely unique property are the viewing terraces and very special spaces in which you can sit back, relax and enjoy the comings and goings of the passing yachts. Sit on the beach shaded by the sea grapes trees, or perhaps the main dining terrace, shaped like a ship's foredeck, soaking in the view over Marina Cay. Spend a little more time at the property and you may discover the more sheltered, shaded dining terrace to the north of the property is a delightful spot for an al fresco lunch. The main house features an open plan kitchen, dining and living area with beautiful ocean views out to the Sir Francis Drake Channel. The master bedroom and first guest bedroom, both with ensuite bathrooms, are separated by a bunk room, perfect for crew or for grandkids! The Guest Annex has a very spacious main bedroom and bathroom again with wonderful ocean and island views out over Marina Cay and a second bedroom and bathroom in the rear. Conveniently located just a few hundred yards across the water is the Scrub Island Marina. Not only can hours of pleasure be gained watching yachts of all shapes and sizes coming and going ( the docking attempts by novice sailors doubtless will provide lots of amusement!) , but there's a great provisioning store with small deli, two great restaurants if you get tired of cooking and a wonderful spa!
