Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini
The one port that every Virgin Voyage itinerary that leaves from Miami makes is Bimini in The Bahamas. Virgin Voyages’ ships are registered in The Bahamas so I believe every itinerary will make a stop at Bimini.
Virgin Voyages does not have a private island. Instead, they have partnered with Resorts World Bimini to have the private Beach Club at Bimini exclusively for Virgin Voyages’ guests.
The ship docks at a pier that is a bit of a distance from the Beach Club.
There is a free shuttle that takes guests to the Beach Club. It stops at Fisherman’s Village on the way to the Beach Club and stops at Resorts World Casino and Fisherman’s Village on the return trip to the ship.
Entrance and use of the Beach Club is free. If you want to rent a cabana or buy drinks, you charge it to your onboard account with your bracelet. If you want to pay for other Shore Things (excursions) at Bimini, those are available as well.
The Beach Club has two pools. One is more of a party pool with a DJ while the other has a swim up bar. By noon most of the chairs were taken.
The beach has rows of lounge chairs and umbrellas. The water was incredibly clear and a vibrant blue.
Lunch is served at two cafeterias (same food at each). It is all pre-made and you step up and order what you want and it is placed on a tray for you. The food was okay; I preferred the food on the boat.
There are free soda machines and various locations to purchase alcohol.
Overall the Beach Club at Bimini was a nice space to relax and take a swim in the ocean or a real pool. It is a beautiful beach. I have visited Nassau on other cruises and hate it; so was pleasantly surprised by Bimini. I spent about 2 hours there before heading back to the ship but I’m sure others spent most of the day on the beach.
