Where is the beach club at Bimini?

The Beach Club is on North Bimini Island in the Bahamas 🇧🇸, and it’s just 50 miles off the Miami, Florida coast.

If you sail with Virgin Voyages from PortMiami, you’ll likely include a full day at The Beach Club at Bimini. Check your trip route before booking to confirm your itinerary includes this experience (if you want to visit the Beach Club).

Is the Beach Club at Bimini just for Virgin Voyages Cruises?

The Beach Club at Bimini isn’t a private beach of Virgin Voyages, as other cruises and local hotels may also utilize its facilities.

However, whenever a Virgin Voyages Lady Ship docks at Bimini, the property becomes exclusive to Virgin Voyages sailors.

Visiting The Beach Club 🏝️ is our favorite stop, and we know it’s echoed in many Virgin Voyages The Beach Club at Bimini reviews.

The unique vibe, along with the curated entertainment and complimentary food, stands out from the moment you step off the ship. The best part? You don’t have to pay additional to get there or enjoy the facilities.

How Do I Get From the Cruise Ship to the Beach Club?

Virgin Voyages offers complimentary open-air tram service to the Beach Club.

  • Tram Ride Duration: 7 to 8 minutes (trams run continuously every 15 minutes, and it makes a first stop at Fisherman’s Village Marina to drop off anyone who books shore things).
  • Walking Option: You can walk along the dedicated path (about 20–25 minutes), though we recommend saving your energy for the beach unless you plan to explore locally.

Exploring Bimini Island

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to explore the island, consider getting off the tram at the first stop at Fisherman’s Village Marina to rent a golf cart.

Tip: Don’t forget to bring cash, because the golf cart rental at Fisherman’s Village Marina isn’t operated as a Virgin Voyages shore thing.

Is The Beach Club Accessible?

Once you arrive at The Beach Club at Bimini, you’ll notice the thoughtful accessibility features in place. Ramps and pathways to pools and the beach ensure friends with limited mobility can enjoy the beach club.

Virgin Voyages The Beach Club at Bimini Reviews: What to Expect

At the Beach Club, you’ll find plenty of spots to sit and relax: hammocks, lounge chairs, umbrellas⛱️, and even swings.

At the main entrance, there’s a lounge area and one of the many bars. After the main entrance, you’ll encounter the two lagoon pools divided by a walkway leading to the beach area.

Pool Party At Virgin Voyages The Beach Club Bimini

One of the most iconic activities in the Virgin Voyages Beach Club is undoubtedly the lively pool party, powered by the electrifying Virgin Voyages DJ and the incredible Happening Cast.

Expect vibrant dancing, bubbles, mermaids 🧜‍♀️, and colorful pool inflatables to enhance everyone’s enjoyment.

We love the entertainment hosted by the Happening Cast; the DJ will play a mix 🎵 of techno, hip-hop, and reggaeton that gets everyone moving.

Tip: While complimentary lunch is served continuously from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, we recommend eating before 1:00 PM. That way, you’re fully fueled, relaxed, and ready to jump straight into the pool party without holding a plate when the DJ and Happening Cast kick things off from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

Where Should You Go If You Want To Chill vs. Get Hyped?

  • For High Energy & Dancing: Main Lagoon Pool (closest to the DJ booth and central bar).
  • For Relaxing & Napping: The oceanfront loungers, daybeds on the far ends of the beach 🏖️, or the quieter lagoon pool near the RockStar 🎸 Retreat.

Tip: We like to stay by the pool party area, but we’ll admit that the music can get quite loud. If you’re sensitive to noise, a pair of noise-reducing earplugs might be a good idea to bring.

What Is Included In My Visit To The Beach Club at Bimini?

  • Food & drinks: Complimentary food is served, which we’ll cover below.
  • Wi-Fi connectivity: Shipboard Wi-Fi extends onto the island property. Access to the Virgin Voyages Wi-Fi may not be fast enough for streaming, but it’s good for checking emails and social media notifications. If you want to know more about Virgin Voyages’ Wi-Fi speed, you can read about our experience using the cruise’s internet.
  • Locker availability: You’ll find lockers near the restroom area to store your belongings. They’re a convenient option if you want to enjoy the beach club without worrying about personal items.

What Cabanas Are Available at the Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini?

For an additional fee, you can rent a cabana at the Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini. The prices can vary depending on the location you choose.

Cabana Types & Features

  • Beach Cabanas: Front-row views of the ocean (south, central, and north).
  • Lagoon Cabanas: Positioned directly along the pool party action and DJ.
  • Grove Cabanas: Tucked slightly back in shaded palm groves (south and north).
  • RockStar Cabanas (VIP): Front-row views of the ocean. Reserved exclusively for RockStar and Mega RockStar suite guests.

Typically, these Beach Club cabanas come with:

  • A double daybed and side table
  • Two beach chairs
  • A drink cooler
  • A coffee table big enough to fit four sailors

Note: The cabanas in the VIP area are primarily reserved for Rockstar sailors. However, check out the Virgin Voyages app, because some may be available for regular sailors if they aren’t fully booked. Plus, booking a cabana here gives you access to the exclusive Rockstar area at the Bimini Beach Club.

Is Renting a Cabana at Bimini Beach Club Worth It?

If you’re celebrating a special occasion like a birthday, anniversary, or honeymoon, renting a cabana might be a great choice. You’ll get a dedicated service team taking your orders, saving you time heading to the bar for drinks.

The most affordable cabana option (Grove Cabanas) typically starts at $400 per cabana. This fee includes a first round of drinks valued at up to $100. With that bonus in mind, the cabana price could start at around $300. You can see cabana locations on the Virgin Voyages Bimini beach club map.

Keep in mind:

  • The walls of the cabanas are made of bamboo, which may not offer full privacy.
  • Consider the location of your cabana: if you want a quiet experience, we wouldn’t recommend the Lagoon Cabanas, because they’re placed right next to the DJ and pool party area.

Tip: If renting a cabana is something you want to experience, make sure to book it as soon as you have access to Shore Things, because we’ve noticed they typically get booked fast! Shore Things open 120 days before embarkation (135 days for 🎸 Mega RockStar and RockStar Quarters).

But to be honest, we’ve found that unless you’re celebrating a special occasion, renting a cabana might not be worth it, since there are plenty of chairs and lounges with umbrellas throughout the Beach Club that already provide great shade and comfort without the extra cost.

Can I Use Bar Tab And Sailor Loot At The Beach Club?

Yes, and typically, your visit to the Virgin Voyages Beach Club is the day before disembarkation. If you bought Bar Tab, this is the perfect time to use any remaining balance.

Remember, if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it! If you didn’t buy the Bar Tab or don’t have a remaining balance in your Bar Tab, you can order drinks, and they’ll charge to the credit on file.

You can also use your Sailor Loot balance, which makes it another great spot to enjoy those extra credits before your voyage ends. If you have leftover credit and aren’t sure how to spend it all before disembarking, check out our guide on ways to spend Virgin Voyages Sailor Loot.

Tip: This is an ideal opportunity to buy a refreshing natural water coconut 🥥. You can order it with alcohol or “Virgin”. Don’t forget to take a picture with a lovely stamped message.

What To Pack For Virgin Voyages Bimini Beach Club?

When you visit Virgin Voyages Beach Club, you don’t have to pack food or basic beverages. However, there are essential items you should consider bringing.

Beautiful Beach At The Beach Club
  • Swimsuit: Don’t forget your swimsuit! You’ll definitely want to take a dip in the lagoon pool or the ocean.
  • Towels: Your cabin includes two red beach towels to bring ashore. Make sure to bring them back onboard to avoid a $25 charge per unreturned towel. If you forget to bring your cabin towels, don’t worry because there is a towel station in the Beach Club where you can check out beach towels by providing your cabin number and the quantity needed. Just be sure to return them to the booth before heading back to the ship.
  • Reef-safe sunscreen: To protect your skin from harmful rays without impacting our reefs.
  • Bring a beach hat: My first visit to the Virgin Bimini Beach Club resulted in a painful sunburn on my scalp because the sun visor hat design didn’t provide adequate protection.

Tip: We honestly recommend avoiding the sun visor hat style. Trust us, you’ll be busy enjoying the pool party and may find yourself in the sun 🌞 for several hours.

  • Waterproof phone 📱 case to keep your phone safe while you’re by the water.
  • If you’re a book 📖 lover like me, don’t forget to bring something to get lost in while lounging by the water. I personally can’t travel anywhere without my Kindle. Whether you prefer physical paperbacks or e-readers, relaxing by the ocean with a good read is a must.
  • If you stay in the beach area and you want to enjoy your preferred taste of music, then we recommend you pack a portable speaker.
  • We never stay late in the Beach Club, but I’m from the Caribbean, and I know how bugs behave in the evening. If you want to stay longer to enjoy the sunset view, you might want to pack bug spray.
  • When you get to Virgin Voyages Beach Club, in addition to the complimentary basic drinks station by the food area, you’ll find water pitcher stations. However, if you want to keep your water cold, we encourage you to bring an insulated water bottle.

Are There Vegan Options at Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini?

Yes! There are vegan and gluten-free options available at the Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini, and they’re surprisingly good. You’ll find fresh, healthy, and refreshing dishes instead of the typical beach food like burgers or hot dogs.

Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

  • Complimentary meals are served at the Beach Club, usually from 11 AM to 3 PM. Check with the crew members since serving times can sometimes vary.
  • There’s no limit to how many times you can order during serving hours.
  • Expect smaller portions of flavorful dishes that fit perfectly with the beach vibe.
  • You’ll also find complimentary drinks like water, Coke, iced tea, and juices to keep you refreshed throughout the day.

More Tips for Virgin Voyages Beach Club

  • The Happening Cast will keep the sailors highly entertained. Besides energizing the lively pool party, they also host several games around the beach club. Keep an eye on the Virgin Voyages app for updates on game activities (some don’t even need reservations).
  • When it comes to facilities, we’ve noticed the restrooms located by the Beach Eats (both south and north) to be the cleanest. For this reason, it’s a good idea to secure a spot closer to that area.
  • We hope you don’t need it. In case of any emergencies, you can seek assistance from the Virgin Voyages nurse (located next to The Main House).
  • Need last-minute beach essentials? There is a shop booth located near The Main House where you can buy items like reef-safe sunscreen, hats, waterproof phone cases, beachwear, and Bimini souvenirs.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss The Beach Club At Bimini

We highly recommend taking advantage of this complimentary experience. After all, you won’t have to pay extra unless you want to enjoy non-complimentary beverages. But if you’ve already visited and want to explore Bimini Island, you can try any of the Virgin Voyages excursions or even rent a golf cart from the locals.

Even if you decide to stay at the Beach Club, we’re pretty sure you’ll enjoy the day. Whether you’re looking for fun or seeking a relaxing experience, the mixed activities and diverse areas available at the beach club are perfect to accommodate any type of person.
