White Bay Villas Unveils the Largest Solar Installation in Western British Virgin Islands

White Bay Villas is proud to announce the completion of a groundbreaking solar project on Jost Van Dyke. This marks the largest solar installation in the western British Virgin Islands, showcasing our unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental resilience.
February 28, 2024

Our new 20,000-Watt photovoltaic system stands at the forefront of our eco-conscious efforts. This substantial addition complements our existing green initiatives: comprehensive rainfall harvesting, dedicated recycling processes, local material use for furniture making, and sourcing of indigenous produce, seafood, and timber. These elements underscore the ethos of our Alice’s Restaurant at White Bay Beach Club, famous for its unique handmade wood oven – the only one in the Virgin Islands.

This solar project is a key part of our decades-long journey towards environmental leadership. By integrating this solar energy system, we're enhancing our energy efficiency, contributing much-needed power to the island, powering our Nissan Leaf Zero Emission electric vehicle fleet, and significantly reducing our carbon footprint. This initiative establishes a new benchmark for renewable energy projects in the region.

Guests at White Bay Villas now enjoy a stay that's not only luxurious but also environmentally mindful. Our efforts are a testament to our commitment to preserving Jost Van Dyke's exquisite natural beauty and fostering a sustainable future.

We invite you to discover the unique eco-friendly features of our resort and experience the harmonious blend of luxury and environmental consciousness that defines White Bay Villas. For more details about our villas, please visit https://www.jostvandyke.com/properties-overview.
