Recreation
You can swing in a hammock or take an hour long hike, bask in the sun or swim at our Deep Bay Beach. For both active guests and those who just want to take a deep breath and relax, Biras has it all.
Beaches
The beach at Berchers Bay, adjacent to the Ocean and Garden Suites, is perfect for walking, reading and sunbathing. For
swimming and water sport activities, the beautiful sheltered beach of Deep Bay is a 10 minute walk or short bicycle ride from the suites.
Bicycles
All guests are provided their own Trek Cruiser bicycle for exploring the spacious property and meandering trails during their stay.
Please note that we drive or ride on the left in the British Virgin Islands!
Boston Whalers
Grab your snorkel gear and a picnic lunch before departing in one of Biras Creek’s Boston Whalers, available to guests for two hour excursions. Capable of taking up to three adults on exploratory trips around the protected waters of the Sound, the Whalers are the perfect escape to a private beach or a snorkeling haven. If you are unfamiliar with motor boats, our Marina Village Dockmaster will be happy to give you instructions, which only takes a few minutes. View and download the Boston Whaler map.
Garden Walk
Biras Creek’s Head Gardener, Sylton Benjamin, informs and delights guests as he describes the landscape and plants during his weekly walks. He willingly spends additional time with the guests who want to learn more about the plants and their care. Sylton will meet you in the Arawak
Room at 10:00 am on Monday morning for a tour through Biras Creek's lovely gardens.
Hiking
Set amidst two hills and surrounded by three bodies of water, Biras Creek’s trails provide spectacular views of the entire property as well as panoramic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sound and Deep Bay. Along the trails hikers will discover an abundance of diverse flora including cacti, wildflowers and mangrove forests. Experience resident wildlife including iguanas, birds and the pigmy gecko, the world’s smallest lizard which
can only be found in the BVI. View and download the hiking trail map.
Snorkeling
The North Sound has many small islands and cays to explore along with some colorful snorkeling reefs. Masks, fins and
snorkel gear are available for guests to use during their stay and can be picked up at the Marina Village near the Fat Virgin Gift Shop.
Introduction to Scuba
An "Introduction to Scuba" Resort course is available for those who would like to try diving for the first time. Guests learn Scuba basics in the morning at the pool and then dive a shallow coral reef that afternoon. There is a fee of $80 for the resort course and an additional $100 if you decide to try the ocean in the afternoon.
Swimming Pool
Reserved exclusively for the Resort’s guests, the fresh water pool literally abuts the waves of the open sea on Bercher's Bay for a beautiful view from the loungers.
Television
Satellite television is available in the Arawak Room, and we have a large selection of DVDs and Wii Games.
Tennis
Two Omni tennis courts, as well as balls and rackets, are available for complimentary guest use. One of the courts is floodlit to allow play in the cooler evenings.
Water Sports Instruction and Equipment
We have complimentary Kayaks, Lasers, Hobie Cats and windsurfers available for your use at Deep Bay. The water sport instructors are on the beach from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm to give complimentary sailing and windsurfing lessons.
