A mere 5 minute drive over to Little Apple Bay guests' will find Bomba's shack, a very popular life spot.

Sensationally simple. That's what this island and this villa resort is all about. For the only clothing requirements here are comfortable swimsuits, and the only night life remotely qualifying as "hot" are dinners of spicy West Indian cuisine.

Paradise Beach Resort lies on the western shore of Virgin Gorda among white sands and isolated coves facing Sir Francis Drake Channel and Tortola in the distance.

A reef just offshore ensures your privacy by preventing outsiders from reaching our beach. It also provides some marvelous snorkeling on numerous coral reefs.

Timepieces, jewelry and make-up are fairly useless here. Days pass serenely. You swim, eat, sleep, read, and can explore Virgin Gorda. Spend your next seaside holiday with us!
