Oil Nut Bay has officially been named Coolest Luxury Resort in Rolling Stone’s 2026 Travel Awards.
Celebrating the British Virgin Islands as the famed “Billionaires’ Playground,” Rolling Stone highlights Oil Nut Bay for making the destination’s elevated lifestyle surprisingly accessible. The feature calls out the private villas and infinity pools, personal golf carts, sweeping Atlantic views and optional experiences ranging from private butler service to in-villa dining.
Described as a “one-percent experience” without the expected price tag, the feature captures what makes Oil Nut Bay so memorable—exceptional privacy, thoughtful service and a relaxed approach to luxury in one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular settings.
The recognition also speaks to the freedom guests experience throughout their stay. Days can be spent exploring the community by golf cart, relaxing beside a private pool, dining along the water or setting out for an adventure across the North Sound. There is plenty to discover, but never any pressure to follow a schedule.
True to what Rolling Stone said about Oil Nut Bay, your time here feels personal rather than prescribed. Each stay can be shaped around the guest, whether that means adding a private chef and butler, gathering the family for an easy beach day or simply enjoying the quiet of a villa overlooking the Atlantic.
This distinguished recognition is a proud moment for the entire Oil Nut Bay community and a reflection of the people, place and experiences that make every stay feel extraordinary. We are honored to be included in Rolling Stone’s 2026 Travel Awards—and even more excited to welcome new and returning guests to discover what makes Oil Nut Bay officially one of the coolest places to escape.
