Home About the Resort Location

Bitter End is on the North Sound of Virgin Gorda- beautiful, remote and
protected, 12 miles from Tortola, 30 miles from St. Thomas and 75 miles
from Puerto Rico. Bitter End is situated on 75 acres of land and more
than a mile of waterfront on the northeast extremity of Virgin Gorda.
It fronts North and Statia Sounds. The property is accessible only by
water. Bitter End is the last island outpost before the open waters of
the Atlantic Ocean.

North Sound is filled with beautiful coral reefs and endless beaches.
Marine life is abundant and snorkeling sites are spectacular for their
color and variety. Brilliant fish such as wrasses, grunts, damselfish
and parrotfish abound, and the variety of colorful sponges and corals
is umatched.
Bitter End’s major attraction is its lively
and well-maintained waterfront with active marine and watersports
facilities, restaurants, and shops. The setting is enhanced by lush,
well-tended landscaping that features a wide variety of flowering
ornamental shrubs, trees and other tropical plantings. The curved
strand of waterfront includes three white sand beaches, deep,
crystal-clear water, and abundant fish and bird life. Constant
tradewinds provide a reliable and comfortable, humidity-free, naturally
air conditioned climate.

ABOUT THE BVI
The British Virgin Islands are a British Crown Territory with the capital city of Road Town, Tortola.
They are part of the Greater Antilles made up of a string of more than
60 islands, rocks and cays bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north
and the Caribbean Sea to the south. Except for Anegada, which is of
coral formation, the British Virgin Islands were created by hot
volcanic material, which rose slowly upward out of the sea bed some
70-100 million years ago. As recently as the last ice age (15,000 years
ago), when the sea level was 300 feet lower these islands were
connected by land to Puerto Rico and the U.S Virgin Islands. Today,
they stand as peaks of a drowned mountain range.
Virgin Gorda, spread over 15 square miles of mountains, boulders and beaches, is the second largest island in the BVI. |
