BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
We’re ushered onto the poolside patio where a DJ booth in neon lights rises as if by magic – this is island living taken to a new level
`
FROM TOP: The Point estate, a champagne kayak and Cape Stout estate, all Moskito Island
16 guests across eight suites, plus a dedicated bunk room that can accommodate eight more. A communal space – the Great House – opens out on three sides to reveal the «>Ìio] LÀin}in} Ìhi «ool] yo>Ìin} loÕn}iÀÃ] hoÌ ÌÕL >n` swim-up bar within a few steps’ reach. The Point’s design is minimalist – all sand-coloured tones, clean decor and wooden accents – but doesn’t fail to take my breath away upon arrival. I explore the grounds like an over-excited child and quickly declare my love for the estate – little do I know, it faces some tough competition for the title of my favourite on the island. The Oasis, perched atop Moskito’s tallest peak, belongs in the scenes of a glamorous action movie. Its sleek, superyacht-inspired design is centred almost entirely around glass, with the main four-storey space and VÀo« ov «oolÃi`i «o`Ã Lo>ÃÌin} yooÀ-Ìo-Viilin} Üin`oÜÃ and 360-degree views across the island and beyond. Over on Moskito’s northern cliff, Cape Stout bills itself as an active guest’s dream, home to its own basketball court, gym and 13-metre powerboat. Our visit to this estate may not entail watersports or workouts, but is no less exciting thanks to the mouth-watering three-course dinner we’re treated to and the saxophonist who provides the soundtrack for our feast (and ensuing party) while perched on the wooden beams that tower overhead. The fun-loving Moskito team sends us off in style on oÕÀ wn>l ni}hÌ ÜiÌh >n iÝÌÀ>Û>}>nÌ ViliLÀ>Ìion >Ì /hi 6ill>}i iÃÌ>Ìi° /ÀiihoÕÃi-ÃÌÞli ÃÕiÌiÃ] > ÌÜo-ÌiiÀi` inwniÌÞ «ool Vom«liÌi ÜiÌh ÃÕnkin wÀi «iÌ] >n` > Ü>ÌiÀÃli`i that plunges into a grotto-style lagoon only scratch the surface of what this party pad is all about. The pièce de résistance is revealed after dinner when we’re ushered onto the poolside patio, where a DJ booth clad in neon lights rises as if by magic from below the ground. This is island living taken to a whole new level.
