Welcome to Bitter End Yacht Club, a legendary island outpost where laid-back luxury meets nautical adventure. Set on 64 acres along Virgin Gorda’s North Sound, Bitter End has been a beloved destination for sailors, adventurers, and island-lovers since 1969.
Rebuilt after Hurricane Irma, today’s Bitter End blends its iconic charm with fresh, modern touches — offering new accommodations, vibrant dining, and an unbeatable lineup of watersports and activities.
Accommodations:
Bitter End’s accommodations put you right at the water’s edge, offering a true “on the water” experience:
Mariner Lofts – Two-story, nautical-inspired residences with sweeping harbor views, private balconies, and full kitchens — perfect for those seeking space and comfort.
Beach Bungalows – Nestled along the untouched shores of Pelican Beach, these eco-conscious retreats offer a contemporary nod to Bitter End’s original 1970s cottages. Each bungalow seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with 180-degree views of North Sound from a wrap-around terrace, a private alfresco lounge, and an outdoor shower under the stars. Thoughtfully appointed with luxurious touches, they promise a serene and unforgettable stay.
The Marina House – Commanding a dramatic view of the anchorage, The Marina House is Bitter End’s premier retreat for families and groups. This elegant timber-framed residence offers four spacious rooms, each blending vintage nautical charm with modern comfort. Private terraces provide stunning vistas, while the open-plan living areas create an inviting space for relaxation and connection. With plush California King beds, curated minibars, and thoughtful design details throughout, The Marina House is the ultimate Caribbean escape for those seeking privacy and sophistication.
Dining:
Bitter End Yacht Club serves up fresh, local flavors across three lively venues:
The Buoy Room – A casual hangout for lunch, dinner, and all-day brick-oven pizzas.
The Clubhouse Restaurant – Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with sea-to-table Caribbean cuisine in a breezy waterfront setting.
The Reef Sampler – A bar, lounge, and small-plates spot named after the club’s beloved workboat, offering craft cocktails and unbeatable sunset views.
