Cooper Island Beach Club is one of the ultimate chilled Caribbean retreats. It is set on its own small island across Sir Francis Drake Channel from Tortola in the BVI, a small hotel ranged in brightly coloured Caribbean cottages along a pretty, palm-backed beach. It centres on a beach bar, which is sometimes very lively (Cooper Island is a popular anchorage and dive station, so there often a crowd in). However, if you are staying at the hotel you will find that it is quite well secluded from the action for moments when you want some peace and quiet. The twelve rooms, which stand on the hillside behind a screen of palms, are fairly simple though perfectly comfortable, and they are well priced too. Cooper Island BVI is a very cool Caribbean getaway.

KEY FEATURES
Small BVI hotel set on its own island, cool, low key atmosphere, simple and airy accommodation, rooms with kitchenettes, beach bar and restaurant, often a lively yachting crowd, shop, PADI Gold Palm resort, perfect place from which to dive BVI.

STYLE
Pretty West Indian cottages in a riot of pastel colours. Relaxed, low-key beach hideaway, good bar atmosphere with visiting yachties.

CLIENT PROFILE
Chilled out types, divers, budget conscious couples and singles looking for a getaway with sand between their toes

Getting Around
Cooper Island is accessible only by boat. The resort’s supply ‘ferry’ boat is used to transfer guests and it operates from Port Purcell in Road Town (off the main road to the east), where there is a small Cooper Island hut on the dock. The ferry departs Tortola on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the late morning or early afternoon, returning around 7.30pm (except on some public holidays). The crossing takes about 35 minutes. Guests staying for seven nights or more will be transferred to Cooper Island and back on a complimentary basis. Those staying less than seven nights are charged US$15 each.

The boat can also operate on request on Tuesday and Thursday (same times) and on Saturday (leaving Cooper Island at 9am returning at 11am). Guests are charged US$15 per person, each way. The other alternative is for Cooper Island to arrange a private ferry charter for you at extra cost. Transfer arrangements should be made at the same time you book your accommodation and Cooper Island will advise of the best options available to you, based on your travel arrangements to the BVI.
