Things to do on Jost Van Dyke

While relaxation is the main attraction on Jost Van Dyke, there are plenty of options available if you’re interested in exploring.

Almost Heaven Villa is conveniently located on the hillside between Great Harbour and White Bay offering the best of both worlds - beaches and nightlife. Spend your mornings on White Bay enjoying the relaxation and charm this world-famous beach has to offer. Once things close down on White Bay in the early evening, head back to the villa to unwind before heading down to Great Harbour for dinner, drinks, and entertainment.

You also have easy access to Jeep rentals, boat rentals, and taxis if you are interested in exploring some of the distant parts of the island including Little Harbour and Diamond Cay, which is home to Foxy's Taboo, the B-Line Bar, and the Bubbly Pool.
