Aerial view of the Hawksbill House, Tortola, BVI

Tortola, the largest island of the British Virgin Islands has a tapestry of rugged green mountains, pristine white-sand beaches, and harbors dotted with the world's finest yachts. 

Welcome to Hawksbill House, your private oceanfront residency on Frenchman’s Cay. We recognize that luxury BVI travel demands seamless logistics, especially when crossing borders to reach a secluded destination. 

Here is your essential guide to navigating the journey to Tortola, and how the Hawksbill House Concierge Service ensures your arrival is entirely fuss-free.

By air: Direct entry into Beef Island Airport (EIS)

The most streamlined route for guests who prioritize efficiency and discretion is directly into the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS or Beef Island Airport), located on Beef Island. It’s connected to Tortola by a short bridge.

• There are commercial flights into the British Virgin Islands from Miami, Antigua, San Juan and St Martin.

• The airport offers world-class Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) services, so the runway is also suitable for private jet operations, and helicopter transfers can be readily arranged.

• From the runway, your destination is a scenic 20-mile drive to our secluded West End location on Frenchman’s Cay. 

Before your arrival, the Hawksbill Concierge will coordinate your preferred transfer, whether a chauffeured limo or a luxury SUV. You simply step off your aircraft and into your waiting transfer, bypassing all congestion and beginning your relaxation immediately!

By sea: arriving by private vessel – the seafarer’s welcome!

You can choose to sail your yacht, catamaran, or cruise vessel, as Hawksbill House offers one of the most substantial waterfront amenities in the BVI. 

Hawksbill House provides an 80 ft private moorings and a private dock right outside your villa, plus over 130 ft of private shoreline.

Sailing is truly a breeze when your private residency includes world-class dockage. You may choose to sail directly to our private shoreline on Frenchman’s Cay. Or if you are chartering to the bustling Nanny Cay Mariana, it’s a quick 15-minute taxi ride away.

Whether you’re mooring your own superyacht, catamaran, or simply using our dock as a launchpad for daily charters, we will handle all clearance details, provisioning, and transfer logistics, ensuring a seamless transition from the water to your whole-villa residency.

By air: connecting through St. Thomas Airport (STT)

Alternatively, guests may choose to fly into St. Thomas (STT) in the U.S. Virgin Islands, often providing more direct international flight options.

While flying to STT is a popular choice, the key to maintaining a luxury experience is avoiding the public ferry congestion. This is where our service shines. The Hawksbill Concierge will arrange a private water taxi for you. This high-speed transfer takes you directly from St. Thomas, enjoying a beautiful 45-60 minute cruise straight to Tortola, or in many cases, directly to Frenchman’s Cay.

Crucial detail: Ferries and water taxis only operate during daylight hours. Our Concierge Service meticulously tracks your flight details to perfectly time your connections, ensuring a relaxing transfer regardless of your arrival airport.
