Deal of the Week: Intro Savings on New Frenchmans Paradise Villa

Frenchmans Paradise

It’s not often that you can get a discount on a villa vacation in the Caribbean during the winter months, but we found one at the newest such property in Tortola that may be too good to pass up!
The property is the brand-new Frenchmans Paradise, an absolutely idyllic three-bedroom/three-bathroom villa set above Soper’s Hole Marina on Tortola’s secluded Frenchman’s Cay. From its perch, Frenchman’s Paradise offers incredible views of surrounding cays and islands, including St. John to the south, and the Thatch Islands – Little and Great – to the west. Each bedroom actually faces due west, making those nice cozy spots between the sheets the best places in the house to enjoy the romantic sunset at the, *ahem*, climax of each day.

Saturday Video: Wishing we were at the 2010 BVI Music Festival

BVI

As our faithful readers already know, Uncommon Caribbean loves a great concert, so it’s little surprise that on this Saturday we’d rather be in Tortola for the annual BVI Music Festival. The 3-day party’s ideal location in Cane Garden Bay offers music lovers the option of groovin’ on the sand, in the water, or out on their boats, all the while enjoying fabulous local food and friendly faces. Headliners this year include Nina Sky, Fantasia and CoCo Tea, so you know this jam will be hot. The video above of Tanya Stephens performing her hit “It’s a Pity” at last year’s Festival provides a glimpse of what we’re missing…

Deal of the Week: 4-for-1 Savings at Long Bay Beach Resort, Tortola

Courtesy Long Bay Beach Resort & Villas

The first time I went to Long Bay was back in 1989 for my high school senior class trip. It may have been a nice resort back then, but I wouldn’t know it. You see, my class had a bit of a reputation for partying, and we hit Tortola like we were being paid to prove it.
Unlike my brother, who claims a vivid recollection of the seminal smoke-filled Steel Pulse concert of his youth (yeah, right), I remember very little about that first trip to Long Bay. There are some in our group who insist to this day that I spent long hours drinking in the, ahem, “local culture” at Tortola’s famed Bomba Shack, but I am positive that to this day I’ve never set foot in the place.
