Baraka Point was named from a Swahili expression, which translates as ‘Hurry, hurry is no

blessing’. Baraka (‘blessing’) Point is a special place run by special people, where time stands still

and relaxation is the order of the day…

Located on the west coast of Virgin Gorda, Baraka Point Estate is an exclusive beachfront retreat

rented to only one group at a time to ensure guests’ privacy. Offering tropical seclusion &

panoramic views, this 12,000 sq. ft., villa set in two acres of lush palm gardens has full resort

amenities & a dedicated full time staff providing management, private chef and concierge services

plus housekeeping and maintenance personnel. A luxurious setting and excellent service are

hallmarks of the Baraka Point Experience--we look forward to welcoming you to this unique

Caribbean hideaway.

LOCATION…LOCATION…LOCATION

Permeated by the rhythmic sound of the waves, Baraka Point offers a peaceful and sensually

engaging environment that will indulge your sense of space. The villa occupies a headland in the

Caribbean Sea with 280º views, and is cooled by trade breezes year round. Baraka Point also enjoys

a built-in sense of privacy from the spectacular reef that extends across the bay while a series of

giant boulders lines one of the island’s most secluded beaches to provide guests with their very own

corner of paradise.

So much more than just a villa…

STYLE & LAYOUT

Main Pavilion incorporates open plan living, dining and entertainment areas plus several coral stone

terraces, an infinity pool and alfresco dining terrace with a shade sail for sanctuary from the midday

sun. Beyond the pool, a large wooden deck set in Virgin Gorda’s trademark giant boulders is an

idyllic spot to watch magical BVI sunsets with cocktails and pre-dinner canapés. It is the ultimate

chill-out space by the sea…

Baraka Point captures the colours of the Caribbean and sets them against hard woods, handmade

silks and furnishings from Indonesia, India & China to create a unique Island Exotic style. The

Estate’s extensive gardens are a lush tropical backdrop for the villa’s distinctive copper-peaked

pavilions with five king-size suites and four twin bedrooms.

THE SUITES

Baraka Point Estate accommodates a total of 14 guests, with a maximum of 10 adults in a group.

There are three ocean view Master Suites—Kerala, Indochine & Mandarin—each with its own

private entrance, an air-conditioned central sleeping area & dressing area—and two ocean view

Family Suites—Madura & Rajasthan—which have a king-bedded central sleeping area with two

adjoining twin bedrooms so parents can relax knowing their children are close by at night.

Your suite is your own personal retreat. Spend the afternoon in a hammock on your private deck or

terrace with a good book & not a care in the world…

Baraka Point is...INCREDIBLE! I can't begin to describe everything and do it justice...the views,

beaches, massages & sunsets. And did I mention the food?! The chef made meals that looked and

tasted like they were out of Bon Appetite and the ambience at dinner was stunning. None of us

wanted to leave--if it hadn't been booked we would have stayed longer! WT, Montana, USA

theatre with Apple TV & Netflix plus a stocked wet bar with complimentary sodas, beer and bar rail

location to throw your own house party before moving on to dinner in one of several beautiful

locations on the property. There is a tennis court nearby, a book library and indoor/outdoor SONOS

music system with Songza, Rhapsody and unlimited iTunes downloads.

Other “Off-Beach” activities include listening to live steel pan music, hiking Gorda Peak National

Park, visiting the island’s sugar mill ruins and the old Copper Mine on the wind-swept Atlantic side of

the island for a glimpse into Virgin Gorda’s past. Regardless of how you choose to spend your days in

these sun-drenched surroundings, the team at Baraka Point will take care of your every need…

Sunset is a special event at Baraka Point--return from the day’s adventures to find the giant copper
