Why Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina Is The Place to Stay in the BVI

The Perfect Escape to Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, BVI

If paradise had a zip code, it would be somewhere between the turquoise tides of the British Virgin Islands and the chilled rim of your second painkiller. We started the year jetting off (bikinis in tow, obviously) to the ultra-luxe Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina—a private island getaway so dreamy, we’re still finding sand in our bags and smiling about it.

First things first: Getting there is a breeze

We flew into Tortola (EIS), and trust us when we say—it’s much easier than you think it is. Also a quick jumper from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and you’re greeted with views so blue they look photoshopped. From there, Scrub Island’s private ferry takes you to the resort and vacation begins!

The Stay:

Once we stepped foot on Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, we knew we’d found our vacation sweet spot. Whether you're a beach-lounger, villa-lover, or private pool kind of traveler, there’s something for everyone.

Couples and solo chillers: Opt for a resort suite—balcony views, soaking tubs, and the perfect amount of space to relax during your stay.
Bringing the whole crew? You need one of their stunning villas. We're talking full kitchens, infinity pools, and enough space to recreate your own version of White Lotus (minus the drama, hopefully).

Where to eat, sip, and repeat:

Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina serves up seriously delicious eats. We started each day with breakfast (eggs, fresh fruit, and views for days), and ended with breezy dinners at Cardamom & Co. or Donovan's Reef for delicious on property options.

And we consider you in our KF Friends & Family circle, so if you book directly with them, use promo code KFFF at checkout for 25% off + breakfast for two daily.

Hot tip: Don’t miss their newest hotspot on Marina Cay, just a short hop away by boat. It’s part restaurant, part local legend, and 100% vibes. The resort offers easy transportation there and back, making it the perfect dinner escape during your vacation!

Boat Day = Best Day

No British Virgin Island trip is complete without a boat day, and we took ours to the next level with a Dream Caribbean Blue charter to Jost Van Dyke—home of the world-famous Soggy Dollar Bar. We sipped Painkillers with our feet in the sea, made new friends over conch fritters, and danced like no one was watching (they totally were on the Soggy Dollar live camera).

What to Pack (Hint: We’ve got you)

This was a vacation made for showing off your cutest swim and resort wear. Think flowy tunic dresses that can be worn as cover-ups for beach-to-bar moments. Dreamy blue bikinis for villa-side lounging in a fit that is perfect for you! Our fan favorite women's underwire bikini top and ultra flattering women's high waist bikini bottom are essentials for any vacation plans.

Cabana sets are our version of a vacation uniform and the BVI's was no exception. Our classic mens short sleeve button down Hawaiian shirt pairs perfectly with the matching swim trunks. Swap the shirt out for our Shell of Guy beach linen seashell shirt or swap the trunks for our Sunset Sail, sailboat embroidered swim trunks to change up your vacation looks!

For dinner and evening plans, pack our chic long sleeve embroidered white linen cut out mini dress for the ladies. And for the guys, plan to pack The Yacht Club, our crisp and classic white long sleeve linen button down shirt that pairs well with linen pants or shorts.

There are options for men, women, and kids that will warrant inviting the whole family! Our BVI's collection was made for this kind of barefoot luxury.

Final Thoughts? Book the trip. Wear the outfit. Drink the cocktail. Twice.

Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina will make you feel like you are in a dream and have you day dreaming about it long after the trip is over. Whether you're chasing sunsets, snorkels, or just some serious R&R, it delivers on every level. Just make sure to leave a little room in your suitcase for souvenirs... and one last bikini.
