Floating Paradise, Ocean Spa, British Virgin Islands

Updated: Jun 22

When Hurricane Irma devastated the British Virgin Islands, she destroyed homes, infrastructure and livelihoods. In her aftermath, Dale Mapp picked up the pieces of the debris she left behind and started rebuilding his life. In November of 2018, he opened Ocean Spa, a floating spa in White Bay Jost Van Dyke. It is built from debris he collected from the wrath of Irma. The Ocean Spa is a shrine to fortitude in the face of disaster and finding”peace in living simple.” The spa offers a place to rejuvenate, and “embrace the healing powers of nature.”
