Space
LIVING AREAS:
Sunny Side Up is split into three pavilions. You’ll enter the main one via a flight of stairs and arrive at the Great Room. This room is aptly named, with a cathedral ceiling and high-arched windows framing the panoramic azure view. This space is all about light and air and makes for a very spacious and comfortable living area complete with natural seagrass furniture and refreshing ocean breezes. The fully equipped kitchen (plus walk-in pantry) is only separated by a sociable breakfast bar making it the perfect area for preparing meals whilst chatting with friends.
BEDROOMS:
1)The Primary suite is upstairs in the second pavilion and accessed by the exterior staircase on the pool deck. Here, you’ll be sure to have a good night’s sleep in the king-sized, four poster mahogany bed. You won’t even have to get out of it to see the ocean! Luxury and privacy are running themes at Sunny Side up and the primary suites double-vanity ensuite bathroom and natural stone outdoor shower are no exception to this.
2)The accommodation in this villa is flexible and the lower level of the main pavilion is home to a bright and breezy bedroom with two queen beds, built-in closets and a tiled bathroom with walk-in shower. Sweeping views of the neighbouring islands can be enjoyed from your little private porch.

Neighborhood
Sunny Side Up is located in the exclusive but welcoming rural estate of Belmont in the West End of Tortola. Two beautiful beaches (Smuggler’s Cove and Long Bay) are just a mile away and are a pretty walk down but a fairly steep one up! Belmont Salt Pond below is a natural reserve and important ecosystem that regularly attracts flamingos (there are 8 there this week as I write this).
LONG BAY (0.9 miles away)
At Long Bay you’ll find a mile-long stretch of white sand and turquoise waters and a selection of beachfront refreshment options – 1748 Restaurant, Tropical Fusion, Johnny’s Beach Bar and 1748 Coffee Shop. If you’re feeling energetic there’s Long Bay Beach Resort’s Tennis and Pickleball courts. A day pass will buy you hours of fun! You can also purchase a pool pass for the day ($100 pp incl $75 food & beverage credit & access to the pool. Under 12’s are free)
SMUGGLER’S COVE (1 mile away)
Smuggler’s Cove is idyllic and perfectly sheltered by its vibrant reef which provides sensational snorkeling and is home to Patricia’s laid-back beach bar. *cruise ship passengers sometimes come here so look online for the “BVI cruise ship schedule” to avoid the busier days.
APPLE BAY (1.3 miles away)
A little village with world-class winter surf and a handful of bars and restaurants (Sebastian’s Seaside Grille, Sugar Mill, Tramonti) for all occasions.
CARROT BAY (2.3 miles away)
A charming village where you’ll find local fisherman, fruit stalls, North Shore Shell Museum and D’Coal Pot restaurant.
WINDY HILL (3.1 miles away)
Head to Stoutts Lookout for a chilled beer with an incredible view over the bay or Banakeet (Heritage Inn) restaurant for one of the best dinner spots to watch the sunset on island
SOPER’S HOLE MARINA (4 miles away)

CANE GARDEN BAY (4.3 miles away)
The buzziest beach on island, you’ll find a whole variety of Restaurants and Bars (Indigo Beach House, Elms, Paradise Bar, Myett’s plus many more) lining the water. You’ll also find a small grocery store, a white sand beach with calm swimming and options for watersports and Callwood’s Rum Distillery. *all these amenities mean that the cruise ship passengers come here, so look online for the “BVI cruise ship schedule” to avoid the busier days.

Transit
TERRANCE B. LETTSOME AIRPORT (EIS) (18.9 miles away)
is on Beef Island in the East End of Tortola (connected by bridge). It’s the only airport on Tortola and where you’ll fly into.
WEST END FERRY HARBOUR (4.1 miles away)
The closest place to catch a ferry to connect you to the US Virgin Islands (St Thomas & St John) and fellow BVI Jost Van Dyke
Although there are ferries to connect you to other islands, the public transport in Tortola is basically non-existent and there’s so much to go and see but taxis add up quickly. Tortola is only 14 miles long by 3 miles at its widest, but it’s a mountainous island and the roads can be quite rugged. We can help you to reserve a 4WD SUV or direct you to recommended local car rental companies who understand that good 4WD vehicles are mandatory to explore with confidence. They can offer delivery to your port of entry or villa (we can help organise you a taxi to take you to the property) & carry a selection of cars & jeeps. Jerry’s Car Rental is our favourite and the easiest car rental company to work with online.
