Luxe Living At Long Bay

Long Bay Resort, situated on the North West side of the main island of Tortola was reopened at the end of 2020 after a total refurbishment by owners Brian and Shamra Strange, a couple originally hailing from Malibu with a special affinity for the British Virgin Islands. The property and the couple that own it both have a special provenance that come together to create something truly unique.

Steeped in history, some of Long Bay’s original stone buildings date back to the 1700’s. These have been lovingly restored to pay homage to the property’s heritage. Surrounded by gorgeous lush tropical flora and fauna with views over soft white sand and aqua coloured water towards Jost Van Dyke and the USVI to the West.

Owner Brian is one of only 350 people in the world to successfully scale the Seven Summits – climbing the highest peaks in all seven continents including Mt Everest.
