This package for two will enable lucky bidders to experience the charm of the British Virgin Islands, while they relax at Anegada's newest and best in accommodations.

The vacation package includes seven luxurious nights; VIP transfer via Anegada Express Ferry; Beachfront Palapa Retreat, arrival champagne in room, breakfast for two daily; one dinner for two at the lobster trap and two spa treatments by Touch of the Caribbean.

Rikkiya was on hand to accept the donation from the Anegada Beach Club on November 12 and expressed her appreciation to the Management and Staff of the property for their willingness to support this initiative. Further, Rikkiya stated that she is excited for that lucky person who will win the bid for this vacation of a lifetime.
