Framed by the untouched beauty of the British Virgin Islands, where turquoise waters kiss powder-soft shores and lush hills roll into the horizon, Oil Nut Bay has unveiled its most serene addition yet: Sundara Spa + Studio, the first overwater spa on Virgin Gorda.

 

 

Perched above the crystal-clear waters of the North Sound, Sundara—derived from the Sanskrit word for beauty—is more than a spa. It’s a tranquil sanctuary that channels the elemental power of the sea, offering visitors a wellness journey rooted in nature, luxury, and restoration. With nearly 360-degree ocean views, underwater windows, and seamless integration into the landscape, Sundara is an immersive experience that connects mind, body, and spirit to the healing rhythms of the Caribbean.

Accessible to both Oil Nut Bay guests and the public, the new wellness retreat features a full spectrum of elevated amenities. Visitors can unwind with a drink at the hospitality bar, browse curated finds in the retail boutique, indulge in pampering at the hair and nail salon, or embrace complete relaxation in two glass-enclosed treatment rooms. A versatile wellness studio hosts yoga, Pilates, sound baths, meditation, and more, with glass walls that open to welcome warm ocean breezes or close for a climate-controlled retreat.

Designed by Jenn Zella of CID Design Group and Carlos Agelet De Saracibar of OBMI, Sundara’s architecture reflects the essence of its environment: natural textures, ambient lighting, and soothing hues that evolve from dawn to dusk. Floor windows reveal the marine world below, reinforcing a deep sense of place.

Every treatment at Sundara is crafted using VOYA, the world’s first certified organic, seaweed-based skincare line. Infused with nutrient-rich seaweed and sustainably sourced botanicals, VOYA products deliver exceptional results while honoring the ocean’s delicate ecosystems—an ethos perfectly aligned with Oil Nut Bay’s commitment to sustainability and well-being.
