Privacy
While islands and resorts may be privately owned or leased, British Virgin Islands law mandates that all beaches up to the high water mark are Crown land and therefore open to the public. Reaching most islands in the area can only be done by boat or by private helicopter so the beaches on the few privately owned islands in the area have very limited access.
Over the years, Eustatia Island has been rented to very high profile guests where complete anonymity and privacy are required. The private island rental policy requires that staff adhere to very strict standards to ensure that even the presence of clientele is kept completely confidential and that no other details are disclosed.

“The privacy of reading frees us to entertain the alien.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
