A waiter serves Nova cocktails to a group of three at an outdoor seaside restaurant. They relax under white umbrellas, with scenic hills and clear skies painting the backdrop. All appear to be savoring both the drinks and the sunny day.
Two people clink glasses filled with water over a table set with sushi, including a dragon roll and a rainbow roll, edamame, a wooden menu, and dipping sauces on white place mats. This bright and inviting scene captures the essence of shared dining at Marina Village in the British Virgin Islands.
A wooden pier extends into Nova Marina with multiple docked sailboats and motorboats on a calm, blue sea. The boats have white hulls and canopies, and the sky is clear with a few scattered clouds. In the background, there is a green hillside to the left.
A white outdoor dining table set with a plate of food, two glasses—one with a cocktail and one with white wine—and a purple napkin. The table overlooks the Nova Marina, where a yacht is docked against picturesque lush green hills in the background.

Two people sit outside Nova, a coffee shop with a rustic wooden exterior. They are seated at a small round table with drinks. String lights hang above them, and a large menu is visible on the window behind them. The mood is relaxed and casual.

What our Guests Say

This is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The food tastes amazing, the views can't be described by words. The pictures do not begin to do it justice.
Marina Village & Nova Restaurant Guest
Beautiful part of Virgin Gorda. At Nova, we loved the lobster for lunch and the sushi. The coffee was terrific in the provisions store. Stunning views from the deck and pool overlooking the islands in the distance. An exclusive experience.
Marina Village & Nova Restaurant Guest
Food, drinks and staff were great, and the atmosphere and waterfront saltwater pool was great for an after lunch dip. Would love to return to stay in the hotel at some point, based on the quality of the food and service we got at lunch.
Marina Village & Nova Restaurant Guest
