The British Virgin Islands’ Norman Island is making a quick recovery in the wake of last month’s hurricanes.

The island’s famous Club restaurant and bar is being renovated and will soon be ready to receive visitors, the British Virgin Islands tourist board announced.

The Club is slated to “serve cold libations, hot food and friendly smiles” in two weeks, according to a statement.

It’s the latest legendary BVI beach spot to plan its return in recent weeks; Jost Van Dyke’s famous Foxy’s Bar has already reopened its doors.
