When is The Branson Beach Estate open?

The Branson Beach Estate is open for bookings all year round.

How do I get to the island?

Beef Island is where most of our guests will fly into. This may be by private plane or a commercial flight. When you arrive at EIS you will be met by our driver and taken to the dock which is a two-minute car drive away. Here you will swap over to our speed boat which will bring you directly to Moskito Island in around 30 minutes.

St Thomas is a little further away in the USVI. As you are not in the BVI you will need to make your way to EIS or VIJ on a commercial charter flight where we'll meet you and take you on to Moskito Island. Alternatively, if you would like to come straight from STT you can charter a boat or come by helicopter.

You can find more information on getting to the island here.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

The earliest check-in time is 4 pm and the latest check-out time is 12 pm so to avoid any waiting time please book your flights to coincide with those times.

Are children allowed?

Yes, The Branson Beach Estate is perfect for children. Special arrangements can be made for children of all ages, including tailored meals and activities throughout your stay.

Some guest rooms can be arranged with twin beds, and very young guests can be accommodated with their parents in nurseries located just off the Master Suites or with an additional bed provided for in the parent’s or nanny’s bedroom.

Babysitting is available on request for an extra charge.

What is there to do on the estate and on the island?

With steady trade winds, warm turquoise waters, beautiful walking trails, two tennis courts and masses more, The Branson Beach Estate is the perfect playground to explore both on land and on water. There’s an endless list of activities to keep you busy or to help you relax during your stay.

Central to the Recreation Area, and just a minute's walk from The Estate is the Beach House, with direct access to a white sandy beach, pool, huge hot tub and swim-up bar. Inside the Beach House, enjoy a game of pool or sit back and relax in the lounge area with your favourite show on the smart TV.

The Tennis Pavilion has a wonderfully relaxing observation area overlooking the two floodlit Astroturf tennis courts, with the grandstand steps working well as a seating area for spectators. Play a spot of tennis with the racquets and balls provided, and if you’d like to perfect your serve, lessons are available (an additional cost).

Make the most of the crystal-clear waters and the equipment that’s included in a stay. Try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling or Hobie Cat sailing.

What should I pack?

The British Virgin Islands is a tropical destination so think lightweight clothes, sandals, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, swimwear and plenty of sunscreen during the day and take a light sweater or jacket for the evening.

What is the local currency?

The local currency used is the US Dollar but any extras such as spa treatments can also be settled by credit card.

Should I tip the team?

A 2.5% service charge is added to the rate and shared among the team on the estate. If you wish to recognise any or all team members, additional tips are entirely at your discretion. The Estate Manager can address any questions.
