A Legendary Caribbean Beach Bar Hotel Is Back in the BVI 

By: Alexander Britell - March 23, 2023

The Caribbean’s most legendary beach bar hotel has a long-awaited reopening date, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The Sandcastle at Soggy Dollar, the boutique beach hotel at the world-famous Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, will begin welcoming back guests on May 15, the Soggy Dollar confirmed. 

“We are very excited to be reopening Sandcastle at Soggy Dollar,” the property said in a statement.

For now, reservations will only be accepted six months in advance of arrival; all guests must be a minimum of 25 years old, the hotel said.

It is a triumphant return for a beloved boutique hotel that has been shuttered since Hurricane Irma back in 2017.

The return of Sandcastle is actually part of a wider hotel renaissance in Jost Van Dyke, which also includes the spectacular new Hideout hotel, also on White Bay, that opened last year.

That hotel has quickly become one of the hottest boutique resorts in the Caribbean, thanks in large part to its signature amenity: a plunge pool in every villa.
