Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini: The Ultimate Guide
When I first stepped onto the beach at Bimini, I remember thinking, “Is this real life?” Picture this: soft white sand between your toes, the clearest turquoise water you’ve ever seen, and a DJ spinning chill beats as you sip a cocktail on a beach bed overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. If that sounds like your idea of heaven, welcome to Virgin Voyages’ Beach Club at Bimini.
If you’re sailing through the Caribbean with Virgin (and lucky you if you are!), this dreamy beach day isn’t just a stop on the itinerary; it’s an experience. After spending a sun-soaked day there myself, I’m spilling all the details so you know exactly what to expect and how to make the most of it.
What is The Beach Club at Bimini?
The Beach Club at Bimini is Virgin Voyages' exclusive, adults-only slice of paradise in the Bahamas. It’s not your average cruise stop. It’s more like stepping into a luxe, laid-back beach resort, curated with Virgin’s signature cool factor.
While some cruise lines own private islands, Virgin partnered with Resorts World Bimini, and honestly? They nailed it. You’ll find a blend of upscale relaxation and fun-in-the-sun vibes, without the usual cruise ship chaos. Think of it as an upscale beach day with a party vibe, delicious food, and zero crowds.
It’s kind of like an Ibiza beach club met a boho Caribbean hideaway and had a baby. That would basically be Virgin Voyages' private island in a nutshell.
What’s Included at The Beach Club at Bimini?
A big question for first-timers: Is The Beach Club at Bimini all-inclusive? The answer is mostly! Here’s what you can enjoy at no extra cost:
Private beach access: Lounge in a private cove with white sand and crystal clear blue water.
Massive lagoon-style pool: Take a dip in the sprawling lagoon-style pool complete with a swim-up bar.
Beachside lunch: Enjoy a delicious curated menu packed with Caribbean flavours (included in your cruise fare!).
DJ-led entertainment: Relax to chill beats by day and dance under the stars at night.
Wellness activities: Sunrise yoga, beachside meditation, beach volleyball and more.
Hammocks & loungers: No need to rent a chair, there are plenty of spots to relax.
What’s not included? Drinks. While food is included, drinks at the Beach Club aren’t. Use your pre-loaded drink credit to enjoy cocktails without a care. Thankfully, soda and water are still included and readily available at bars and lunch.
Best Things to Do at The Beach Club at Bimini
You may be wondering what to do at Bimini Beach Club. Well, let me tell you that the options are limitless. Here are some of my favourite things to do:
1. Chill by the Pool or Ocean
Unlike some overcrowded cruise beaches, Bimini’s Beach Club offers a more relaxed, boutique-style experience. You can choose between the lagoon-style pool (with a swim-up bar, of course!) or the pristine beachfront. I personally loved starting at the beach with a morning swim and ending poolside with a mocktail in hand.
2. Sip on a Signature Cocktail
Since drinks aren’t included, you might as well make the most of them! The signature Bimini cocktail is a must-try, and frozen daiquiris are a popular pick.
3. Dance at the Afternoon DJ Set
By mid-afternoon, the Beach Club kicks things up a notch. The beats get louder, the cocktails flow faster, and before you know it, you're dancing barefoot in the sand. It’s got that iconic Virgin Voyages energy, and yes, it’s just as fun as it sounds.
4. Explore Beyond the Beach Club
If you want to go beyond the club, you can book some of the best excursions at Bimini. These include:
Snorkelling with stingrays
Visiting the eerie (but cool) SS Sapona shipwreck
Jet skiing through turquoise waters
Touring Bimini town on a golf cart
I didn’t make it to the shipwreck on my trip, but it’s definitely on my list next time!
