Best Hotels for Families

The North Sound of Virgin Gorda might be the most sought-after zip code in the Caribbean, and at its heart is Oil Nut Bay, which feels like a private island. Cut off from the rest of Virgin Gorda and accessible only by boat and helicopter, its supreme seclusion is a part of its unending appeal. This oversized 400-acre property stretches between both the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts of the island, home to ocean-view suites and spacious villas, and estates available for rent when owners are traveling elsewhere. It’s pure laidback luxury at the property’s private beach club, sports courts, kids’ club, and gym, with an overwater bar and restaurant welcoming visitors to spend the entire day in this corner of paradise. The property’s brand-new overwater spa just debuted this spring, a perfect excuse for a return visit, if you ask me.
