The Tamarind Club, owned and operated for 15 years by Cindy and Eric Clayton, with Cat and Clint behind the bar, officially closed in August, 2018.
Loved by residents and visitors alike, Tamarind Club was known for its delicious food, creative drinks, and welcoming atmosphere. Sunday brunch at Tamarind was one of the most popular activities on Tortola – an all-day affair consisting of mimosas, bloody Marys, and, of course, some well-deserved time in the pool. Countless friendships were formed, business deals were done, and relationships were sparked at the Tamarind Club, and it will be sorely missed by everyone who patronized it over the years.
The next step will be a sale or auction of the property. Let’s hope the new owners repair and reopen quickly, and more importantly, keep the welcoming atmosphere and cool vibe that Tamarind Club was known for.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
