On its own private island in the Sir Francis Drake Channel, Cooper Island Beach Club is the BVI’s premier eco-luxury beach bar and resort, accessible only by boat, serving exceptional craft rum cocktails and fresh Caribbean food against the backdrop of one of the most spectacular stretches of Caribbean water in the region. There’s a stand-alone Rum Bar carrying one of the largest rum selections anywhere in the Virgin Islands, and the beer’s brewed on-site at the territory’s only solar-powered microbrewery, which tells you everything about how seriously this place takes both sustainability and its drink menu. The charter boat crowd makes Cooper Island a ritual stop, and the beach bar delivers quality that matches the extraordinary setting.
