Bitter End Yacht Club brings overwater bungalows to BVI

The Bitter End Yacht Club in Virgin Gorda is set to reopen later this month with the first and only overwater bungalows available in the BVI.

The 64-acre private retreat was opened by the Hokin family in 1973 and quickly became a popular destination for visitors to Virgin Gorda. However, when Hurricane Irma devastated the Virgin Islands back in 2017, the resort was not spared. Since then, it has been closed for nearly four years. During its closure, the owners treated the property to a makeover and they refer to it as Bitter End 2.0.

The property has been outfitted with new Marina Lofts projecting over the ocean. The handmade timber bungalows were said to be inspired by the vintage sail lofts where sails used to be made. The handmade timber bungalows are set across two levels and are said to be made for guests to enjoy a moment of relaxation whilst on vacation.

The first-floor houses a large and spacious lounge and bathroom, while the second floor is home to a master suite with a king-sized bed. Each bungalow also has a private terrace on both floors that offers a view of the Caribbean Sea.

There are currently only two bungalows complete and available for bookings in December, but 10 more bungalows are scheduled to be ready in the near future.

In addition to the luxe accommodation, there’s a new waterfront plaza overlooking the North Sound. It will offer several distinct dining options, including a new twist on the clubhouse and a waterfront bar, as well as a water sports centre with a new fleet of water toys and a boutique for holiday shopping.
