Baraka Point is a 9500 sq.ft. luxury oceanfront estate at Nail Bay, on the west coast of Virgin Gorda, offering guests their own corner of paradise with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea & the neighboring islands. Designed around the concepts of privacy & relaxed elegance, Baraka Point consists of a series of copper-peaked pavilions set apart in 2 acres of tropically landscaped gardens, and decorated with silks & furnishings from India, Morocco & Indonesia.

The main pavilion encompasses the living, lounging & dining areas, with satellite TV, wide-screen digital TV, Playstation 2, a collection of board games, CDs, DVDs & books in Baraka Point’s library. For guests wishing to stay in touch with the outside world, there’s a laptop & WiFi throughout the property. The main pavilion also has a sweeping sun terrace leading onto an infinity-edge pool with unparalleled views, and a 2nd terrace for alfresco dining or relaxation in the villa’s giant teak hammock. A large wooden sun deck, set in the boulders by the water’s edge, provides guests with an idyllic spot to watch spectacular sunsets!

Baraka Point has 3 additional pavilions housing 5 oceanview suites, plus 4 small bedrooms for children, thus accommodating up to 14 guests (with a maximum of 10 adults). Each suite has a separate entrance & private deck or terrace – the master suite has its own plunge pool, and 2 of the suites have indoor as well as outdoor showers. All suites are equipped with DVD/TVs, stereos, quality linens, towels, bathrobes, as well as bathroom amenities.

Guests have exclusive use of the entire estate and all amenities & services throughout their stay. Baraka Point offers comprehensive guest services including a full-time private chef from New Zealand, and an optional fully-flexible meal plan * (the chef cooks to the guests’ tastes, and charges only for meals he cooks for you). There is a wine cellar, gourmet kitchen, plus an Italian wood-burning pizza oven in the garden.

Baraka Point also has a well-equipped fitness room, 4 mountain bikes, 2 sea kayaks, & 10 snorkel sets. For the ultimate in relaxation, Baraka Point’s full-time spa therapist offers a range of spa treatments ** including hot stone massage, exfoliation scrubs, facials, as well as Yoga & Pilates classes in the property’s Balinese Pavilion (for the exclusive use of guests). For families with young children, a nanny is available, and our guest concierge can assist with dinner reservations & various activities. All staff (chef, spa therapist/yoga instructor, housekeepers, gardeners, & pool man) live off-site to ensure guests’ privacy.

Villas range from $12,500 – $75,000/wk
