Sailing in the Caribbean at the Bitter End Yacht Club, Virgin Gorda

As far as Caribbean hideaways go, the Bitter End Yacht Club delivers. Just ask the writers at Men's Journal who featured the resort in an article on the "Unknown Caribbean." If you're "tired of cookie-cutter tropical vacations among all the other tourists," why not escape to Virgin Gorda, where you can rig up a boat and join an "impromptu regatta" at Bitter End? After tearing it up on the open sea, head back for a rum punch on the beach. Avid scuba divers won't want to miss the pristine reef and wreck diving, easily accessible via the onsite dive outfitters. Bitter End has a number of value-added accommodations packages available- from romantic escapes to family fun weeks...

Pssst. Adrenaline junkies will also get a kick out of night kiting. (Note: Kite-surfing in the pitch black is not for the faint of heart.)
