On Tuesday March 31st, we moved from Spanish Town & the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour (The Baths) to a very small Island Restaurant called Saba Rock.
Here is what goole says about saba rock –
Saba Rock is a renowned, tiny, 1.5-acre island resort and top tourist destination located in the North Sound of Virgin Gorda, BVI. Known for its casual luxury, it features a boutique hotel, high-end restaurant, bars, and a spa, acting as a popular hub for sailors, divers, and kiteboarders
On this day, we did both –
1) We used a Boaty Ball & the Dinghy to go to the Saba Rock Island Resort and have Lunch.
2) Then we stayed overnight at the swank Marina & Resort located on Oil Nut Bay, featuring “above the water” The Nova Restaurant.
Saba Rock & the Oil Nut Bay Resort/Marina and restaurant The Nova, are in the same bay & very close to each other (see Red highlights).
Here are a couple photos & videos from the Saba Rock Island Resort & Restaurant.

After luch at Saba Rock, we took the dinghy back to the boat, got the dinghy loaded up & headed over to The Oil Nut Bay Marina & Resort.
The Oil Nut Bay Resort is another swank place.
It is similar to the Scrub Island Resort with multiple infinity pools overlooking the Caribbean. but unlike the Scrub Island Resort, boaters must pay an extra fee ($195/PP) to use the complete resort facilities shown below.
It was still a very nice place for us “Paupers” to visit.
There was a very nice small infinity pool, and nearby bar and above the water restaurant called “The Nova”
There were also a row of suspended mesh lounging nets & lounging pads on the opposite side of the complex, overlooking the private beach, suspended over the water (sorry, no photos or video of the lounging pads & beach).
After swimming in the Pool, and swimming on the Private Beach, it was time to clean up for dinner.
We had dinner at The Nova Restaurant, that you had seen during the day, surrounding the poolside bar.
The Nova Restaurant is advetrised as – an over-water restaurant and lounge located in the Marina Village at Oil Nut Bay on the eastern tip of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. It is one of the few areas at the exclusive Oil Nut Bay resort that is open to the public without requiring a day pass.
As with most of the places we visited, the restaurant seems to come alive at night with all of the lights.
The marina just beyond the private beach was also beautiful at night.
During dinner & after a few libations, we noticed the little Tipsy Tots near the large round art/lounge chair formation, on the Oil Nut Deck.
Obviously, we had to try the Tipsy Tots !!!
After the Tipsy Tots, what is guy supposed to do to end the night ?
Well, some more end-of-night Boat Dancing, with Ashley’s disco lights.
That’s all for tonight.
