Guest Testimonials
The whole team at The Aerial have created something we have not found anywhere else, and we have stayed at a lot of resorts.
Start with the food. This is, without exaggeration, the most healthy and thoughtful food we have ever had at any resort. Every meal felt like it was designed by someone who truly cared about how we would feel afterward, not just how it looked on the plate. We left every table satisfied and energized, which is a rare thing on vacation.
OMG!!! Seriously most divine place on earth. I have never felt such tranquility or seen such beauty as I experienced here at Aerial. The staff treated us like family, food was amazing and I have never slept that good in my life. I slept 9 hrs straight instead of my usual 4-6. Are you kidding me!!! Can’t come back soon enough!
Truly "A" mazing experience- one of the nicest vacations I have taken in a long time. You won't find many luxury resorts as special as this. Trust me- you will want to visit Aerial again and again. Truly grateful!!!!

Frequently Asked
There’s no minimum group size, so the island can be entirely yours whether you’re traveling as a couple or with your whole crew. The base exclusive use rate covers up to 15 guests, and pricing adjusts for larger groups, your dates and the experience you’d like us to create.
Exclusive use generally requires a three-night minimum. Certain holidays, festive periods and high-demand dates may require longer stays.
Your stay includes private use of the island and every room, along with chef-prepared meals and house beverages. It also covers island activities, watersports, and our boats and captains for included island experiences. Wellness programming, housekeeping, concierge service and round-trip transfers from Tortola are included too. Spa treatments, Redemption Ranch experiences, off-island excursions and specialty boat charters are priced separately, as are outside entertainment, event production, specially sourced wines and custom menus. Anything additional is discussed and approved with you in advance.
A deposit secures the island and your dates, followed by scheduled installments before arrival. Your exact schedule is included in your proposal and booking agreement. One lead organizer holds the reservation, and individual guests or couples can pay their portion directly if that’s helpful.
Deposits and payments are generally non-refundable, since the entire island is committed to your group. When circumstances allow, we’ll make reasonable efforts to help move your stay to future available dates under your booking agreement. Your specific terms are always provided with your proposal before any payment.
Very much so. Exclusive use works beautifully for multigenerational families, and our team tailors activities to the ages in your group, from water activities and beach games to art, cooking, gardening and stargazing. Several rooms have day beds, lofts or sleeping nooks that suit younger children staying with their parents. You’re welcome to travel with your own nanny, or we can source a professional nanny for an additional cost with advance notice.
Not at all. Everything is optional. Some groups want sunrise movement, breathwork and sound healing every day. Others want boat days, beach time and long dinners, and most want a little of both.
Yes. Many groups travel with their own planners, photographers, facilitators, trainers and entertainers. We ask that vendors be approved in advance so we can coordinate island access, transportation and setup. There’s no blanket vendor fee. If a vendor needs significant transportation, staffing, equipment or production support, we’ll include an appropriate coordination cost in your proposal.
Yes. Friends, family, colleagues or event attendees can join you for dinners, celebrations, meetings and parties. Pricing depends on the number and ages of visiting guests, the length of their visit, food and beverage, and transportation.
Yes. The island has indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, the Vision room, areas for presentations and discussion, Wi-Fi, a recording studio and plenty of informal places to meet. Bring your own agenda, or let us help shape the experience around your objectives.
