Virgin Gorda, BVI › Hotel

Bitter end yacht club.

What began in the 1950s as a primitive and ramshackle sailors’ stop is now the liveliest of the B.V.I. resorts, a full-service sailing complex that opens onto the North Sound’s gorgeous deepwater harbor, accessible only by boat. You almost expect a Somerset Maugham heroine to come waltzing through the lobby, a British Empire outpost of Balinese teak and whirring fans. Accommodations have a breezy-casual rustic elegance, with lots of burnished wood and old clocks and a vintage-yacht look. You can stay in hillside chalets (North Sound Suites) or in the resort’s original cottages along the beachfront—either way, you’ll have your own private patio or veranda to admire the views. True to its roots as a self-sustaining survivor, the Bitter End is an eco pioneer, generating its own electricity (much through solar power) and collecting and desalinating its own water.

There are activities aplenty at Bitter End, from movie screenings in the Sand Palace to sailing school lesson to Champagne cruises to snorkeling excursions. The resort has more shops than the rest of Virgin Gorda combined, practically. The pool is big and beautiful, enveloped in checkerboard tiles and coconut palms. The open-air Clubhouse Steak & Seafood Grille has front-row North Sound views, with high beamed ceilings hung with international nautical flags and Moroccan lamps; it’s filled with happy chatter through breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The Marina Lofts

Cantilevered over the Caribbean Sea, our Marina Lofts are built for those who desire to sleep at the water’s edge. These over-the-water bungalows are inspired by vintage sail lofts, blend seamlessly with their surroundings and are tailor-made for those who are called to the sea.

Remaining true to Bitter End’s heritage, the lofts are made with sustainable, organic materials. Interiors are intentionally simple and open to the environment, filled with the sights and sounds of the sea. The two-story, timber-clad lofts, situated south of the marina, offer unparalleled panoramic views of the North Sound from private terraces on both the first and second floor.

Plunge into the Caribbean Sea off your private dock before stepping inside your blissful, eco-friendly escape, with each loft enjoying cooling sea breezes thanks to steady trade winds.

Perched above the Quarterdeck Marina, our lofts are a magical oasis in the center of it all. Watch the comings and goings of North Sound from either terrace, take a swim off your own private dock or nap on the daybed overlooking the crystal blue Caribbean Sea. Your maritime hideaway awaits.
