The Island Hopper’s Guide: 3 Stops for Food, Fun & Felicity

In the British Virgin Islands, every stop on the map has a story to tell. Some draw you in with their energy, others with their stillness—but each one is worth the journey. A day spent island-hopping through the crystal clear waters is a day well spent, packed with adventure in its purest form. Felicity—the state of pure happiness—feels like the right word for it.

If you’re planning a day (or several) on the water, these three stops belong on your itinerary. Each one brings its own character, but all deliver Food, Fun & Felicity in true BVI fashion.

1. Cooper Island Beach Club: A Sustainable Escape

Cooper Island Beach Club is the kind of place that lingers in your memory long after you’ve sailed away. Tucked along a quiet stretch of shoreline, this eco-conscious retreat runs entirely on solar power, blending sustainability with effortless island comfort.

The menu is a love letter to the BVI, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients and on-island-brewed craft beers. Grab a cold pint, sink into a lounger, and let the view do the rest. As the sun dips below the horizon, the golden-hour glow over the water is pure magic.

CocoPlum Highlight: No visit to Cooper Island would be complete without stopping by their microbrewery. A Beer Flight lets you sample the full range, but the Turtle IPA stands out—not just for its crisp, lively flavor, but because $1 from every pint supports sea turtle conservation in the BVI. A drink that does good? That’s an easy choice.

2. Saba Rock Resort: A Tiny Island with a Big Personality

Saba Rock may be small, but it packs a punch. Situated in the heart of North Sound, this lively little island is an adventure in and of itself. Seriously, you could spend an entire day on this 1-acre plot, and find something new to do in every moment. Mornings are for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, afternoons bring cocktails at the second-floor bar, and somewhere in between, there’s always a game of ring toss or a friendly face to chat with.

The menu leans into fresh seafood and Caribbean flavors, all served with panoramic ocean views. It’s the perfect mix of energy and ease—whether you want to soak up the sun or soak up a cocktail, Saba delivers.

Coco-Plum Highlight: Snap a photo by the iconic red phone booth—it’s a classic BVI moment that’s been captured for generations. If you’re there at 5pm., don’t miss the daily tarpon feeding. Watching these sleek fish dart through the water is a small but unforgettable piece of Saba Rock’s charm.

3. Hendo’s Hideout: White Bay ALL day!

Some places just feel like vacation, and Hendo’s Hideout is one of them. Sitting right on White Bay’s famous stretch of sand, it’s equal parts beach bar, restaurant, and all-day hangout spot. Bright orange umbrellas and a neon wall set the scene, while good music, good food, and a steady flow of rum drinks keep the energy just right.

The menu brings island flavors front and center—think fresh seafood, flavorful grilled dishes, and cocktails made for slow sipping. But the real magic is in the atmosphere: a mix of barefoot beachgoers, happy laughter, and the kind of carefree vibe that turns a quick stop into an all-day affair.

CocoPlum Highlight: The neon wall is a must for photos, and we highly recommend that you shamelessly try everything on the menu—each dish is a crowd-pleaser!

Plot Your Perfect Island-Hopping Day
Each of these stops—Cooper Island Beach Club, Saba Rock Resort, and Hendo’s Hideout—has its own personality, but they all capture the heart of the BVI. Some days call for craft beer by the water, others for a lively crowd and a little adventure. Why not have them all?

If these spots are calling your name, let’s map out a route that makes your island-hopping experience one to remember. The best trips are the ones that leave you with a sun-kissed glow, a few great stories, and a longing to return.
