Perched just above the clear turquoise waters of Virgin Gorda’s North Sound, Sundara Spa + Studio has officially opened at Oil Nut Bay, marking a serene evolution in Caribbean wellness. As the first overwater spa on the island, Sundara—aptly named for the Sanskrit word for “beauty”—invites guests and residents alike to connect deeply with the elements in a space that is as visually striking as it is spiritually grounding.
Part wellness studio, part design marvel, Sundara embodies the barefoot luxury ethos Oil Nut Bay is known for. But here, the experience isn’t just about aesthetic indulgence—it’s about holistic rejuvenation, shaped by sea, sun, and stillness.
Conceived by Jenn Zella of CID Design Group and architect Carlos Agelet De Saracibar of OBMI, Sundara’s architecture feels like a living extension of its marine setting. Floor-to-ceiling glass and underwater windows capture 360-degree panoramas, while natural materials and shifting ambient lighting mirror the ebb and flow of the surrounding sea. The result is a sensory retreat where wellness is not separate from nature—but immersed within it.
Inside, Sundara features two glass-enclosed treatment rooms, a hospitality bar, a boutique curated with artisanal wellness finds, and a hair and nail salon. At the heart of the space lies a flexible, open-concept studio designed for yoga, meditation, Pilates, and sound baths. Sliding glass walls allow for either open-air serenity or climate-controlled focus—depending on the mood or moment.
Each treatment at Sundara incorporates VOYA, the world’s first certified organic seaweed-based skincare line. Known for its sustainable sourcing and bioactive marine ingredients, VOYA offers an experiential layer to spa rituals, blending nutrient-rich seaweed with essential oils and organic botanicals. It's a luxurious approach to self-care that honors both the skin and the sea.
Guests can choose from an array of personalized face and body therapies that draw from global traditions and modern science, all while being cocooned in a tranquil, oceanfront setting. For those seeking longer-term restoration, the studio’s wellness programming includes group and private classes tailored to both beginners and seasoned practitioners.
Spanning 400 acres of low-density coastal terrain, Oil Nut Bay has long held a reputation as one of the Caribbean’s most sophisticated resort communities. With a range of residences—from clifftop suites to sprawling seven-bedroom estates—available for nightly rental or ownership, the property weaves seclusion with signature service.
Beyond its private villas and refined amenities, Oil Nut Bay is guided by a core commitment to sustainability and wellness. Guests have access to a newly reimagined beach club with three pools and a swim-up bar, a wellness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a kids club, a rescue barn, and an interactive nature center.
With the addition of Sundara Spa + Studio, Oil Nut Bay not only broadens its offerings—it defines a new chapter in destination wellness.
