Baraka Point was named from a Swahili expression, which translates as ‘Hurry, hurry is no
blessing’. Baraka (‘blessing’) Point is a special place run by special people, where time stands still
and relaxation is the order of the day…
Located on the west coast of Virgin Gorda, Baraka Point Estate is an exclusive beachfront retreat
rented to only one group at a time to ensure guests’ privacy. Offering tropical seclusion &
panoramic views, this 12,000 sq. ft., villa set in two acres of lush palm gardens has full resort
amenities & a dedicated full time staff including a manager, private chef, concierge, villa attendants
& housekeepers. A luxurious setting and excellent service are hallmarks of the Baraka Point
Experience--we look forward to welcoming you to this unique Caribbean hideaway.
I don’t think anyone does sand-beyond-your-toes, laid back luxury better than Baraka Point. NR, NYC,
New York, USA
LOCATION…LOCATION…LOCATION
Permeated by the rhythmic sound of the waves, Baraka Point offers a peaceful and sensually
engaging environment that will indulge your sense of space. The villa sits by itself on a headland in
the Caribbean Sea with 280º views and cooled by trade breezes year round. Baraka Point also enjoys
a built-in sense of privacy from the spectacular reef that extends across the bay while a series of
giant boulders lines one of the island’s most secluded beaches to provide guests with their very own
corner of paradise…
So much more than just a villa…
STYLE & LAYOUT
Main Pavilion incorporates open plan living, dining and entertainment areas plus several coral stone
terraces, an infinity pool and alfresco dining terrace with a shade sail for sanctuary from the midday
sun. Beyond the pool, a large wooden deck set in Virgin Gorda’s trademark giant boulders is an
idyllic spot to watch magical BVI sunsets with cocktails and pre-dinner canapés. It is the ultimate
chill-out space by the sea…
Baraka Point captures the colours of the Caribbean and sets them against hard woods, handmade
silks and furnishings from Indonesia, India & China to create a unique Island Exotic style. The
Estate’s extensive gardens are a lush tropical backdrop for the villa’s distinctive copper-peaked
pavilions with five king-size suites and four twin bedrooms.
THE SUITES
Baraka Point Estate accommodates a total of 14 guests plus infants in three ocean view Master
Suites—Kerala, Indochine & Mandarin—each with its own private entrance, an air-conditioned
central sleeping area & dressing area—and two ocean view Family Suites—Madura & Rajasthan—
which have a king-bedded central sleeping area with two adjoining twin bedrooms so parents can
relax knowing their children are close by at night.
Your suite is your own personal retreat. Spend the afternoon in a hammock on your private deck or
terrace with a good book & not a care in the world…
Baraka Point is...INCREDIBLE! I can't begin to describe everything and do it justice...the views,
beaches, massages & sunsets. And did I mention the food?! The chefs made meals that looked and
tasted like they were out of Bon Appetite and the ambience at dinner was stunning. None of us
wanted to leave--if it hadn't been booked we would have stayed longer! WT, Montana, USA
“OFF-BEACH” ENTERTAINMENT
For “Off-Beach” fun, Baraka Point’s air-conditioned Games Pavilion has a full sized pool table, home
theatre with Apple TV & Netflix plus a stocked wet bar with complimentary sodas, beer and bar rail
spirits & mixers. A roof terrace overlooks the beach from the Games Pavilion and provides an ideal
location to throw your own house party before moving on to dinner in one of several beautiful
locations on the property. There is a tennis court nearby, a book library and indoor/outdoor SONOS
music system with Songza, Rhapsody and unlimited iTunes downloads.
Other “Off-Beach” activities include listening to live steel pan music, hiking Gorda Peak National
Park, visiting the island’s sugar mill ruins and the old Copper Mine on the wind-swept Atlantic side of
the island for a glimpse into Virgin Gorda’s past. Regardless of how you choose to spend your days in
these sun-drenched surroundings, the team at Baraka Point will take care of your every need…
DINING AT BARAKA POINT
Sunset is a special event at Baraka Point--return from the day’s adventures to find the giant copper
torches lit, music playing and cocktails with pre-dinner nibbles waiting for you while Chef Liz
prepares the evening’s gastronomic creations to be served with complimentary house wine or your
choice of bottles from the villa’s wine cellar.
Liz fuses flavours and styles of cuisine to create an exciting variety of dishes throughout your stay.
She will happily cook to your specifications or suggest a daily menu while our dedicated service
team brings fine dining right to the table for you…
Have your ‘huevos rancheros’ served seaside in the morning, take lunch on the beach and dinner
under the stars. Wherever you dine at Baraka Point, you will enjoy exquisite freshly prepared meals
that indulge your sense of taste…be sure to try West Indian roti done Baraka Style, and signature
pizzas from the Italian wood-fired oven. The “flavour of the day” gelato option as well as Liz’s
famous home-baked breads, cookies & muffins are sure to tempt you!

At Baraka Point we understand that happy children on holiday mean happy parents so we do our
utmost to keep children and teens entertained. Baraka Point offers a Wii, a Karaoke machine as well

The pool at Baraka Point has a shallow end for children just learning to swim and our secluded
beach area has a small tide pool for watching the fish. We also have equipment for babies &
toddlers such as Pack ‘n Plays and high chairs, and nanny services are available for an extra charge.
I can't say enough about Baraka Point! It is a beautiful place and the layout is just perfect for kids-
they had everything we needed--swim toys, easy steps in the pool, baby gear, and our older kids so
enjoyed sailing, kayaking & fishing—we didn’t hear from them all day! KR, Rhode Island, USA
