Discover more about Nanny Cay

Nanny Cay, a serene island resort and marina in the British Virgin Islands, offers a unique blend of relaxation and nautical adventure. Located on the south side of Tortola, between Road Town and West End, this island is easily accessible and provides a tranquil escape. Originally three small cays—Big Cay, Little Cay, and Miss Peggy Cay—Nanny Cay was consolidated into a single land mass in the 1970s to create a marina and resort. This transformation has resulted in a well-equipped marina with berths for approximately 300 yachts, a full-service boatyard, and a range of amenities for boaters and vacationers. The marina offers fuel docks, electricity, water, ice, and other essential services. Nanny Cay boasts a 40-room hotel, waterfront townhouses, restaurants, shops, a supermarket, a dive shop, and a gym and spa. Visitors can enjoy a private beach, a freshwater pool, and various recreational activities. The island's calm waters and sheltered location make it an ideal spot for swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. Nanny Cay has a colorful history, including a period in receivership that lasted over 12 years. Today, it thrives under new ownership, offering a premier destination for those seeking a Caribbean getaway with a nautical twist.
