HOTEL INFORMATION

THE BITTER END YACHT CLUB
North Sound, Virgin Gorda
British Virgin Islands


Distance from Airport to Hotel, 15 miles (24 kms). 

The Bitter End is a world-renowned watersports resort, as 
well as being a relaxing environment which enables creative 
thinking for corporate retreats, multiple activities to 
enhance team building, and peaceful settings for family 
reunions, weddings, and honeymoons. The resort stretches 
one mile on the northern tip of Virgin Gorda, facing the 
North Sound and the Atlantic Ocean and all 75 shore-side 
accommodations are scattered throughout tropical gardens 
and offer panoramic ocean views. The continuous trade winds 
make sailing conditions almost ideal; they'll also keep your 
hammock swaying gently and allow cool breezes to flow 
through your beachfront villa. The reefs that surround 
the British Virgin Islands provide spectacular snorkeling 
and diving, as well as scrumptious seafood dishes to 
choose from on the full American Plan. During the clients'
visit, they can select to go on daily-guided excursions
or can explore surrounding islands with a picnic in tow on 
their own. The club fleet of 100 boats satisfies everyone's 
taste. Windsurfing and kayaking are also popular options.

Recommended Route:
We recommend booking to Tortola's Beef Island airport (EIS) 
and connecting with the North Sound Express, high-speed 
ferry for a 30-minute scenic trip direct to Bitter End.
