An Inspired Masterpiece

About

With 400 acres of land surrounded on three sides by gorgeous waters, Oil Nut Bay offers a host of opportunities for adventure both on water and ashore, some of the finest architecture in the Caribbean, the most elite restaurants and the most diverse amenities. Oil Nut Bay is a perfected mix of island seclusion and community.

Developer Story

Chairman of Victor International Corporation and Oil Nut Bay developer David V. Johnson spent a decade sailing and searching for the perfect location for his vision of an exclusive community that exists in harmony with the environment. With over 40 years of development experience and a host of artfully-designed communities to his name, his quest culminated in what is now Oil Nut Bay.

Blending natural elements with architectural design is how we set ourselves apart from other developments, something Johnson believes in deeply. His personal investment in the community shines through a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining the environmental integrity of the island.

Johnson invites you to become part of the community on the island alongside him, in a place where the everyday experience becomes a lifetime memory.

David V. Johnson
Chairman of Victor International,
Developer and Resident of Oil Nut Bay

I decided that the rest of my life was going to be dedicated to creating unique generational communities in harmony with nature. I’m proud of the ones I’ve created along the way, but my masterpiece is Oil Nut Bay. When I saw Oil Nut Bay, my heart exploded. And I said, 'this is it.'

Safety & Stability in the BVI

Unrivaled beauty, clear waters, a reputation for safety and financial soundness and a rich local culture are just a few of the reasons why the British Virgin Islands and Virgin Gorda were selected as Oil Nut Bay’s home base. Enjoy freehold land ownership, a collection of islands that are only a boat ride away, unprecedented serenity and seclusion and the freedom to spend your time however you want.
