Tucked on a hilltop within the renowned British Virgin Islands resort community Oil Nut Bay, this villa—dubbed Halo—could certainly feel like heaven. Blending sustainability and smart technology with a sleek, nature-forward design, it just might be the ultimate 21st-century vacation house.
The five-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom home that spans 8,021 square feet is a collaboration between Oil Nut Bay’s developer David V. Johnson and architect Ken Kao. The organic, curving residence looks as if it is part of the natural landscape, blending into the exuberant terrain above the clear ocean. Its 7,450-square-foot living roof is covered in greenery and tropical flora, which is both beneficial aesthetically and to the environment. Attracting birds and bugs, the roof beautifully enriches the island’s ecosystem.
With 360-degree views, and the majority of that being of turquoise waters, there is much to appreciate here. The infinity-edged swimming pool boasts a waterfall controllable from the touch of a phone. High-tech across the board, it also has motorized glass walls for seamless indoor/outdoor living.
The 2.41-acre property is just a sliver of Oil Nut Bay’s 400 acres, which includes a beach club, restaurants, a wellness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and much more. Plus, Oil Nut Bay is ultra-private, only accessible by boat or helicopter.
Set on the island of Virgin Gorda, Halo is not priced for everyone. Buyers will need a steep $27.5 million to call this polished paradise home.
