This All-inclusive Private Island in the Caribbean Is One of the Most Beautiful Places I've Ever Been — and It Just Got Easier to Visit

If you’ve ever fantasized about packing it all up and leaving the world behind for your very own private island, I found the next best thing. Until June of this year, you could only book a stay at The Aerial, BVI for retreats called Elevate Summits or whole-island buyouts.

My Time in the British Virgin Islands

I stayed on a private island in the british virgin islands!! and it was everything and so much more.

I was fortunate enough to spend 5 days soaking up the sunshine and more importantly, growing at the aerial bvi. the aerial is not your typical beach holiday vacay spot. it’s a wellness resort, that focuses on growth, healing, focus, vision and everything that’s good in life.

BVI - Food Inspired

My time spent at the Aerial was so special and left me with a more conscious mindset about how I am treating my body and what I am putting into it. At the Aerial they have a pescetarian forward menu. There is an emphasis on healthy fats with clean and lean proteins in the form of fresh fish. All the food and drinks are sourced locally either on the island or from local caribbean islands.

The Rise of the Radical Sabbatical

The days on the island had been emotional and intense (there were tears at nightly dinners where we each had to stand up and share our realisations), but also exhilarating and euphoric. By the end, it felt like I’d been on the island for a month. My mindset had undergone a huge shift.

During the days of social distancing, the desire for a vacation space of one’s own was strong. Everyday vacationers flocked to recreational vehicles (RV), and RV vacations peaked in popularity. Members of the 1%, on the other hand, ensured their privacy not by booking a house on wheels, but by renting out entire properties.

Inside the £10,000 BVI retreat teaching ethical capitalism

There are certain moments in life that you will always remember. For me, one of these is paddling out to sea at night in a transparent, glow-in-the-dark kayak, while looking up at the stars off the shores of a private BVI island.

Three more Luxury British Virgin Islands Resorts:

For the Jamaican-born massage therapist Shernette, the reason she has spent the past 18 years on Virgin Gorda is simple: “Every day is like Sunday.” Mid-treatment in Rosewood Little Dix Bay’s hilltop spa, with just the coo of turtle doves and the murmur of the Caribbean Sea below to distract me, I can’t contest that idea.
