Aerial Island

The private island retreat experience that heals and elevates you and your purpose.

Aerial Island, a hidden gem within the British Virgin Islands, it offers a captivating blend of natural beauty, tranquility, and adventure. With its unique rock formation, pristine beaches, vibrant marine life, and serene ambiance, the island is an idyllic destination for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience. Whether you're an avid snorkeler, nature lover, or simply yearning for an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Aerial Island is a place where dreams become reality.

At the beginning of the week I set my intention word as, “Clarity.” I am in a very transitional period in my life and I’ve been deciding which direction is the right one for me to go. As I engaged in visualization exercises, meditations, sound baths, listening to motivational speeches, I got the clarity I was looking for. I left not only inspired to come home and work hard to make my dreams a reality but also felt clear in my next steps.  I left the island feeling grateful and knowing I needed to tell the world about this place.

The Views

Everywhere you looked on the island it was incredibly beautiful. Scenic and inspiring. Certainly a great place to find peace and perhaps even your purpose.

The Food

Island-to-table Dining

“If it’s here for you, it’s good for you.”

All ingredients for food and beverages are sourced locally, either on island or from a local Caribbean island to ensure freshness and preservation of nutrients in the meal. The island menu is pescatarian-forward, so always look to enjoy the fresh fish protein option.

Perhaps my favorite part of the dining experience was the mocktail I drank with every dinner. They had an incredible menu with over 10 different mocktails that were equally delicious and nutritious. Erin from Raw Beauty Co and I did a collaboration on creating one of our own while we were on the island! The Recipe was chopped strawberries, raspberries, fresh pressed watermelon juice, lime, mint and soda water! It was so simple and delicious.

Redemption Ranch

The animals living on redemption ranch have been rescued from kill pens or abusive situations from all over the world. They have been brought here to work with the top-tier Equine Specialists so that once they are ready, they can now serve as therapeutic elements for guests and locals of the BVI.

Activities and Fitness

We stayed active the entire trip! Morning hikes down to yoga or meditation and one morning we did a HIIT work out led by Aerial BVI staff at their incredible gym. It’s located right next to the beachfront which is the perfect spot to jump in the beautifully clear water after a jungle gym workout!

Perhaps the most incredible part of the island is the spirit of redemption and giving back to the world through @aerialrecoverygroup The Aerial Recovery Group. Britnie Turner is the owner of the island and her heart is so generous, it bleeds into all that she does on the island and world. I would love to encourage all of you to book a wellness retreat at the island if that is something accessible to you. It’s a powerful experience and you can know that your money spent on the island is an investment in yourself and all of the wonderful things the island contributes to!
