FOR THOSE THAT live in, visit or love the BVI, we know that time seems to slow down the minute you arrive. We know what a luxury it is to be surrounded by unending beauty day-in and day-out. And we also know how amazing it is to enjoy a few of the finer things in life in such an awe-inspiring setting. This issue celebrates those finer things - and the luxury that is time well spent in these beautiful islands. Our cover feature says it all: House of Luxury is more than just a jewellery store. For more than three decades the brand has been providing top-of-theline jewels and gems to those wanting something extra special for themselves or a loved one. Now ensconced at Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park, House of Luxury offers high-end brands and custom pieces along with top-notch service to all who want an elegant shopping experience. What’s more luxurious than a private island? The new Aerial BVI resort on Buck Island is the future of luxury travel. With tons of space, thoughtful design, and luxe experiences to transform hearts and minds, Aerial BVI provides a sanctuary for those wanting to come back to their true purpose. Virgin Gorda is often called the “billionaire’s playground”, and two pieces highlight what this beautiful island has to offer. First, we get an update on what’s new at the posh Oil Nut Bay Marina Village, as well as a peek at some of the properties for sale and rent there. Then, a feature on options for an opulent weekend abound, including great food, a spa day and more. We can’t forget that the BVI is one of the world’s top sailing destinations. And with travel returning to the Caribbean in big numbers soon, the time to book the perfect yacht charter is now! Horizon Yacht Charters and VOYAGE Charters offer impeccable service for all-inclusive charter options and will WOW guests with their creative itineraries and of course, the BVI is the star of the show.

Enjoy the issue, Sara
