17 rooms. One private island in the British Virgin Islands. Yours to explore from the moment the boat pulls in.
The Aerial is a 17-room private island resort on Buck Island in the British Virgin Islands — a rare kind of place where the entire shoreline, the trails, the spa, the table, and the staff exist in service of a small handful of guests at a time.
No crowds. No cruise ships. No commute between your room and the water. Just an island, a boat ride from Tortola, that feels — for the duration of your stay — entirely your own.
Two simple ways to experience the island — pick the one that fits how you like to travel. Both include your room and every scheduled activity on the island, from sailing and snorkelling to morning stretch sessions.
Best for guests who want flexibility on dining and activities.
Recommended for first-time guests and those who'd rather not think about a bill.
Late summer — August and September — is the island at its quietest, with the warmest water and our most favorable rates of the year. Same island, same staff, same magic. The summer you didn't know to ask for.
No schedule to follow. No agenda to keep. Just the island, the water, and however you want to spend your time.
Where do I even begin describing this exquisite island? This was truly one of the most magical and restorative vacations I've ever experienced. The attention to detail in every moment was remarkable. The food is both delicious and nourishing, and the activities are endless. The staff is warm, attentive, and always available, and the rooms are impeccably clean and absolutely stunning. The outdoor showers under the stars were unforgettable.
Aerial is truly one of the most incredible places I have ever stayed. Every single detail is so thoughtfully created — from the atmosphere, the surroundings, the service, and the energy of the place itself. The team makes you feel deeply welcomed, seen, and taken care of, and the entire experience feels both luxurious and grounding at the same time. It's not just a place to stay — it's a place to breathe, reset, and reconnect with yourself.
Absolute first-class resort on a private island. Location is stunning with amazing views of the Drake Passage and surrounding islands. Bedrooms are very well appointed with special features like private outdoor showers and seating areas. Food and beverage quality, creativity, variety and presentation was excellent. As the expression goes, "quality comes at a price" — and with Aerial, the experience is worth every penny.
Most guests reach the island in a single travel day from the U.S. East Coast. The journey is part of the arrival.
Seventeen rooms. One private island. Summer stays are open now through October 31 — book directly and the island is yours.
