Virgin Voyages' guide to Bimini, Bahamas

Besides exploring the islands’ incredible biodiversity and historic shipwreck diving, relax and unwind at our private beach club experience, Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini.

Bimini

On the Bahamian beat

It isn’t just the impossibly neon turquoise water, or the seemingly unperturbed beaches that coyly dance with the waves that make Bimini so enticing. Sitting on the westernmost part of the Bahamian Islands, Bimini is the far less-visited port home to a decidedly more intimate and visceral heartbeat.

Beyond the quiet beach moments or the adrenaline-inducing shark dives, the three islands that unite to make Bimini are drenched in rich cultural history — where the conch is so fresh you taste the path from which you came, natural watering holes are rumored to have the power to heal.

SHORE EXCURSIONS

The views, the blues and the to-do's

For such a small place, there’s an impressively long list of things to do. From underwater tours to exploring blue holes, these are a handful of the very best bookable experiences on (and technically off) the islands.

Swim with Stingrays

Meet the friendliest fish in the harbor: stingrays. You’ll board a boat to cruise out to Honeymoon Harbour to swim with stingrays. Before jumping in the water, you’ll get professional instruction from the stingray pros. Interact with these amazing creatures by swimming alongside as they glide through the water.

Guided Two-Tank Scuba Dive

For two-tank certified scuba divers, this tour of Bimini’s reefs is the perfect way to use what your mama gave you (er, what you are certified for). With its direct exposure to the Atlantic Ocean’s relatively shallow reefs, Bimini is one of the most diverse aquatic destinations in The Bahamas.

Shore Excursions

Sapona Shipwreck & Shark Snorkeling

The first stop on this underwater safari is a dive with nurse and reef sharks in a controlled environment at Triangle Rock. The next stop, The Wreck of Sapona, is widely regarded as the most famous dive site in Bimini and is evidence of the island’s storied history.

So if you’re looking for the hustle and bustle of grand-scale resorts in other Bahamian spots like Nassau — the shipwreck-dotted, wild blue waters and conch shack-lined beaches of Bimini with its small-town feel won’t exactly be up your alley. But that’s by design. And it’s a good thing.

Barely 60 miles away from Miami, Bimini has emphatically prioritized environmental and cultural preservation — and in the process, cultivated a paradise oasis emblematic of the dreamy reputation of the Caribbean islands.
