Virgin Limited Edition’s Moskito Island unveils new private estate

Virgin Limited Edition property Moskito Island has unveiled a new nine-bedroom estate available for exclusive buyout.

The Village is the fourth estate to be constructed on the 125-acre private island in the British Virgin Islands, joining The Branson Estate, owned by Sir Richard Branson, The Oasis Estate and The Point Estate.

The Village is located on the furthest western tip of the island with sea views across to Virgin Gorda, the third-largest island in the region.

The 18,100 sq ft estate is set amid 3.5 acres of land and features multiple cottage-like structures with thatched roofs that blend into the topography of the island.

The estate can accommodate up to 18 guests. Each guest room features an ensuite bathroom, private living room space and a spacious terrace or patio.

The top accommodation is the two-storey Master Suite, which has been designed in a circular loop and features a 360-degree, wrap-around terrace.

Virgin Limited Edition said The Village offers a “strikingly modern design” with “futuristic” technology and “quirky” amenities, including a hidden DJ booth that rises from the outdoor deck, a slide that wraps around the edge of the estate, advanced lighting and a “stadium-quality” sound system. A cantilevered glass-bottom hot tub which extends over the cliff edge will also be completed in 2023.

The Village’s main house at the top of the hill is known as the “entertaining hub”, home to a communal bar and a spiral staircase leading to the estate’s rooftop. The staircase is wrapped with audio-synced, LED lighting which moves to the beat of the music projected from the sound-system.

Central to The Village is a multi-level infinity-edge pool that is anchored at either end by the Main Pavilion and the Dining Pavilion and lined with palm trees. Inspired by a Balinese garden, it features a submerged ‘dry’ lounge with a fire pit, a swim-up bar, an eight-seater underwater dining table and a second pool that leads to the Master Suite.

Additional amenities at The Village include a fully equipped gym, sound-proof home cinema, pizza oven and an organic kitchen garden.

Outside of the private estate, guests can make use of Moskito Island’s communal recreational areas which include two arena-inspired tennis courts, a watersports centre, a fully serviced private beach and the Beach House, home to gaming, entertaining and movie areas.

The island offers an array of dining locations and tailored experiences to choose from, including picnics on the beach, candlelit dinners under the stars and private pizza-making classes.

Bespoke and personalised spa treatments are offering at each estate or across the island in private, secluded locations.

Rates for The Village start from $19,000 per night during low season for up to 18 guests. Rates include a dedicated estate manager and team of staff, as well as a team of private chefs across the island.

Moskito Island offers a high-end all-inclusive model where all meals, drinks, non-motorised watersports and curation of a fully personalised itinerary are part of the rate. Minimum night stays apply throughout the year.

Virgin Limited Edition managing director Jon Brown said: “Since our anticipated opening late-last year, we’ve humbly been celebrated on the world stage for delivering an exceptional and extremely unique hospitality experience in the Caribbean that goes beyond the realms of traditional luxury. The debut of The Village is the next phase in the continuous evolution of Moskito Island – a private island escape unlike any other.

“A decade in the making, The Village Estate takes luxury to new heights, much like its sister estates, with an impressively striking design, state-of-the-art creative amenities and unspoiled panoramic views in the most private of settings. Moskito Island knows no limit when it comes to providing incomparable, luxurious moments and adding The Village to our collection further amplifies our position as the leaders of luxury in the Caribbean.”
