Big Scrub Island - British Virgin Islands

Big Scrub Island is an exclusive, undeveloped private island of 170 acres in the British Virgin Islands, ready to be developed into a personal retreat or an upscale resort enclave. This large island is connected by a small isthmus to Little Scrub, and offers the opportunity to create a private living environment alongside the amenities of an established resort.

Scrub Island as a whole is a 230-acre unspoiled sanctuary, with a history dating back to its discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1493. The land at Big Scrub is unbuilt and has ocean views, so a buyer can plan a home or resort from the outset.

Neighbouring Scrub Island is home to Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, part of the Marriott Autograph Collection. The resort's facilities include a spa, three gourmet restaurants and three white sand beaches, adding to the appeal of island living.

The marina has 53 deep-water slips and can accommodate yachts of up to 150 feet, catering extensively for those who keep a boat. It is positioned close to the North Drop, famed for world-record Blue Marlin fishing, which makes it a sought-after base for anglers and sailors alike.

Beyond the resort, Scrub Island offers plenty of opportunities for exploration and relaxation, whether trying a new spa treatment, dining at one of the restaurants or taking part in the various water sports on offer. The island is close to T.B. Lettsome International Airport and just a 5-minute ferry ride from Beef Island, making it both a retreat and a gateway to the rest of the Caribbean.
