Virgin Voyages New Beach Club at Bimini Menu Launches: Dates & Food Pictured
Virgin Voyages has launched its new Bimini Beach Club menu. See the rollout dates for all four ships and discover the new Caribbean-inspired dishes.
Virgin Voyages has launched its completely refreshed food menu at The Beach Club at Bimini, with the first sailors getting to try the new dishes from October 12, 2026.
The new menu has been developed by Virgin Voyages’ culinary team alongside Chef Rashida Holmes. It introduces a selection of Caribbean-inspired dishes, including curry chicken roti, tamarind BBQ pork skewers, Caribbean patties, and coconut rice pudding.
Rather than making small changes to the existing Beach Eats selection, Virgin Voyages has developed an entirely new lineup inspired by Caribbean flavors and family recipes.
New Bimini Beach Club Menu Launch Dates
The new menu launched on October 12, 2026, with Resilient Lady becoming the first ship to offer the refreshed selection at The Beach Club.
Virgin Voyages has confirmed the following rollout dates for each ship:
- Resilient Lady: October 12, 2026
- Scarlet Lady: October 25, 2026
- Brilliant Lady: November 15, 2026
- Valiant Lady: April 10, 2027
Scarlet Lady will introduce the new menu later in October, followed by Brilliant Lady in November. Valiant Lady will be the final ship to introduce the refreshed selection on April 10, 2027, when she returns to her Miami-based voyages. Whilst the delayed roll out may seem confusing all food at the Beach Club at Bimini is actually prepared on the ship and then brought over.
Sailors visiting Bimini before their ship’s rollout date should expect the existing Beach Eats menu to remain available.
A Fresh Caribbean-Inspired Lineup
The new menu continues the Caribbean influence already found at the Beach Club while introducing a completely different selection of dishes.
Curry, tamarind, coconut, and plantain feature throughout the refreshed lineup. Several dishes also have personal connections to Chef Rashida Holmes and her Caribbean heritage.
Mains and Larger Dishes
- Marinated shrimp with roasted pineapple chow
- Curry chicken roti with potatoes and turmeric-spiced cabbage
- Tamarind BBQ pork skewers with green pepper chimichurri
- Coconut curry channa with black rice and grilled roti
- Chief’s curry mac and cheese pie
The curry chicken roti is based on a family recipe from Chef Rashida’s mother, Joy, who operated Bridgetown Roti.
Meanwhile, the coconut curry channa features a house pepper curry and fenugreek. The tamarind BBQ pork skewers combine a sweet and smoky glaze with green pepper chimichurri.
Caribbean Patties
- Curry chicken patty
- Smoked snapper patty
- Garlic eggplant patty
The Caribbean patties are another important part of the refreshed selection.
Chef Rashida previously started selling snapper patties through Instagram during the pandemic. The business quickly sold out, and those flavors are now being introduced at The Beach Club.
The garlic eggplant patty also provides an alternative for sailors looking for a meat-free option.
Sides and Lighter Dishes
- Little gem salad with ginger turmeric vinaigrette and coconut everything spice
- Pigeon peas and rice with crispy okra
- Tostones with guacamole and lime spice
- Crispy fried sweet plantains with salted condensed milk and candied rum-soaked pecans
Plantain features in several dishes, including crispy tostones served with guacamole and sweet plantains with salted condensed milk.
The little gem salad also introduces Caribbean-inspired flavors through its ginger turmeric vinaigrette and coconut seasoning.
Dessert
- Coconut rice pudding with pineapple, pitaya, jackfruit and papaya
The coconut rice pudding combines tropical fruits with a traditional Caribbean-inspired dessert.
Virgin Voyages has also confirmed that vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices will feature throughout the refreshed menu.

Recipes With a Personal Connection
Several dishes on the new menu have a personal connection to Chef Rashida Holmes, whose Bajan and Trinidadian heritage has influenced the refreshed selection.
Her curry chicken roti is based on a recipe from her mother, Joy, who operated a restaurant called Bridgetown Roti. The dish features curry chicken, potatoes, turmeric-spiced cabbage, cilantro, and scallions.
The Caribbean patties also have a story behind them. During the pandemic, Chef Rashida launched a business selling snapper patties through Instagram, which sold out almost immediately.
Those flavors have now become part of the Beach Club menu, alongside other dishes inspired by the food she grew up eating.
Chef Rashida worked with Levi Mezick, Virgin Voyages’ Senior Director of Culinary Experience and Development, to develop the new selection.
The team has focused on bringing traditional Caribbean ingredients and family recipes into a menu designed for sailors spending the day at Bimini.
A Complete Replacement for the Original Beach Eats Menu
The new menu represents a significant change from the original Beach Eats selection, which has been served at The Beach Club at Bimini for several years.
Previously, sailors could choose from dishes including lechón asado, grilled honey jerk chicken, red snapper and mango ceviche, West Indian pumpkin curry, Caribbean rice and black beans, and rum cake.
Rather than updating individual dishes, Virgin Voyages has developed an entirely new selection while keeping Caribbean cuisine at its center.
The refreshed menu also introduces several new ingredients and flavor combinations, including tamarind BBQ, coconut curry, and different preparations of plantain.
Returning sailors may notice some of their previous favorites are no longer available once the new menu has been introduced for their ship.
When Will All Virgin Voyages Ships Have the New Menu?
The rollout began on October 12, 2026, with Resilient Lady. Scarlet Lady and Brilliant Lady will follow before the end of November.
Valiant Lady is scheduled to introduce the new menu on April 10, 2027, when she returns to her Miami-based Caribbean voyages.
This means the refreshed selection will not be available to every sailor immediately, even if their itinerary includes a visit to Bimini.
We will continue updating our complete Beach Club at Bimini guide as the rollout continues and more information becomes available.
