Keeping the magic safely alive...

Pre-Arrival

Travel is bound to feel a little different at the moment but as a guest of Moskito Island, you can sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge our teams are there every step of the way to assist you with entry requirements into the British Virgin Islands. From advice on registering and uploading your pre-arrival COVID-19 test results on the BVI Gateway website to guiding you through the arrival and quarantine process dependent on whether you are vaccinated or not, our team will liaise with you at all times, ensuring a seamless experience throughout, be it pre-arrival, on arrival and while on island, of course.

Arrival in the BVIs

Upon arrival to the beautiful British Virgin Islands and prior to leaving the airport to set off for Moskito Island, you will be required to take a rapid COVID-19 test if you are fully vaccinated or a mandatory COVID-19 PCR test if you are not.

We hope you will understand this is for the safety of you and your party, as well residents of the BVI, other guests and our staff.

Once this arrival process is complete, one of our team members will be there to meet you to start your journey to Moskito Island in style.

Transfers

We will most likely be meeting you at Beef Island, which is where your experience will start as we whisk you off in style on our private boat to your private estate. You can have every confidence that once we meet you, our boat that will take you would have been rigorously cleaned and we will have hand sanitiser onboard ready for you too.

Arrival on Moskito Island

In true Virgin Limited Edition style, you will be welcomed with a glass of bubbly or a refreshing drink whilst our team talk you through government protocols for those unvaccinated or travelling with children. However, we are fortunate to have the privacy of a private island which you will still be free to explore throughout regardless.

While those first 24 hours for unvaccinated guests may be a tiny bit different and our usual activities might be slightly limited, our team will be doing everything possible to ensure our 'invisible or touch-less' service does not compromise our Moskito Island standards.

Checking In & Out

We want to make your stay as simple and relaxed as possible and that’s why we have created our own little welcome pack that you can expect with all the usual private-island luxuries that we will never compromise on. Each of our guests will receive a face mask to wear during their stay (Virgin Limited Edition in style of course!), sanitiser and antibacterial wipes for your convenience, to use as you wish.

We will then talk you through all of the different options available during your stay to ensure you feel as at home as possible in the privacy of your own estate, whilst still getting the true luxury private island experience that makes Moskito Island so unique.

As hard as goodbyes are, when it comes to it, we'll make it as seamless and easy as possible for you.

Our Team

When our guests arrive on Moskito Island, we will be doing everything we can to ensure it feels like home and that is equally the same for our staff too. You can have every confidence that the team looking after you throughout your stay will have been strictly monitored in order to best protect our own little island safe haven. We are delighted that many of our staff are now fully vaccinated, however we will also be taking daily temperature checks and the use of on-site COVID-19 testing (both antigen and swab) where necessary, supported by our specialist medical provider.

In addition to the normal strict protection measures we have in place throughout the island, such as hand-washing and the wearing of masks, we have also implemented zoning on the island for our team – just as an added precautionary layer. Our guests of course will still have the luxury of the whole island to enjoy– just with the added assurance that our staff will be remaining in their specific zones. This coupled with the BVIs having one of the lowest rates of COVID-19 allows for complete peace of mind throughout your stay.

Flexibility & Simplicity

We understand that everybody’s level of concern is entirely personal and while our promise is that your safety is our number one priority, we want to ensure that we are working to your comfort level.

So, whether that’s choosing not to have housekeeping during your stay, or providing you with the same member of staff every day where possible, you can have complete confidence that we remain fully flexible, adapting our processes around your preferences and ensuring that you have as memorable a stay with us as ever.

Keeping It Clean

We give you our absolute word that we will be carrying out the most meticulous cleaning measures, which will also meet, as a minimum, new local regulations now in place throughout the British Virgin Islands.

You may notice a few temporary alterations on the island and to the rooms within your estate as we do our very best to keep our guests safe. Rooms will still have the same beauty and extra comfort that they have always done, but as we strive to increase safety measures, we ask you to kindly bear with us.

Clean Hands

For the comfort of our guests, we have placed hand sanitiser stations throughout the island and have replaced all cloth hand towels in public areas with disposable hand towels. We encourage you to use these whenever possible.

Temperature Screening

It is our number one priority to ensure the ongoing safety and wellbeing of all of our guests and staff, and with that in mind, we hope you’ll understand that we will be carrying out thorough medical checks even before you arrive on island. This will include taking a quick temperature check.

We understand these are slightly strange times but hope that these preventative measures will give you complete peace of mind in allowing you to relax and enjoy your stay with us.

Masks

For the safety of both our team and guests, our team will be wearing face masks during certain times. Whilst these may well hide our smiles, we will most certainly still have smiling eyes!

We kindly ask our guests to respect the mandatory government guidelines which require guests to wear a face mask when they are unable to socially distance or in smaller communal spaces. And of course, masks are not necessary when enjoying our incredible dining experiences!

Medical Support

Should you have any health concerns, we have a fully qualified paramedic on island, as well as medically trained staff and a specialist medical provider readily available 24/7 throughout your stay.

The BVI Government has done extensive work to better prepare the BVI hospital for any cases and they now have new ventilators and strict procedures in place at the hospital to deal with any cases.

Dining

Please rest assured that we will not be compromising on the incredible dining options we offer as part of your stay and we understand that being able to dine in different locations on the island, as well as your own estate is all part of the experience. We will however, be making a few small changes to how we serve your food and to ensure there is social distancing between the chef, our team, and you and your guests.

Spa

We all love to be pampered every now and then - and that’s why we’re doing our very best to continue with our spa offering on Moskito Island which already comes with the benefit of privacy in the comfort of your own estate. This is likely to be a more limited offering compared to normal and where we can, we will continue to make use of the incredible outdoor spaces we’re privileged to have on the island – should you wish of course.

Needless to say, by their very nature, our spa treatments have always had very strict hygiene protocols, so you can rest assured our therapists will be carrying out your treatments in the safest way possible.

We will do our best to keep you informed about our spa services prior to arrival.

Watersports

The crystal-clear waters that surround Moskito Island mean that guests can enjoy some of the most breath-taking activities on and in the water. Whether you want to go snorkelling, kitesurfing, sailing or any of the other countless activities on offer, we hope you’ll understand that our new measures are there to ensure your safety and enjoyment.

From adhering to social distancing during lessons to providing you with your own sanitised snorkel and mask for the duration of your stay, you can be confident that your safety and that of our staff remains our absolute priority.

Our team will be sure to keep you updated before you arrive on property, but if you have any questions about particular activities or our third party partners, please do reach out to our friendly reservations team who will be happy to help.

Tennis & Land-based Activities

We know lots of our guests like to stay active during their stay by playing tennis or participating in other land-based sports and whilst we still strongly encourage this, some things might look a little different at this time.

With your health and safety top of our mind, we have implemented rigorous cleaning measures for all sports equipment. As with everything else, we will also ask you to kindly respect social distancing during sporting activities, so you and our staff can confidently enjoy all the experiences we have on island.

Children's Activities

With plenty of outdoor adventures and activities on offer, children are guaranteed the time of their lives on Moskito Island. While some activities for your little ones may vary at this time, you can rest assured your children will always be in the safest of hands.

We will be providing masks for children to use should they wish and just like the thorough cleaning processes we have in place for the adult activities, we will be implementing these same measures for our children’s activities too.

The team will take the time to talk through these measures in more depth on your arrival, so you can relax in the knowledge that there is no such thing as boredom for your children on our island.
