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.

US, Canadian, UK & EU Passport holders with a 10-year passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date do not require a visa to enter the British Virgin Islands for tourist purposes, provided the stay is no longer than one month.

If you hold a passport from outside one of these regions, we strongly recommend that you check entry requirements with the nearest British Virgin Islands Consulate.

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.
