Banyan Tree Bimini Resort and Residences, an unmatched private luxury destination in Bimini, Bahamas, announces the grand opening of Bonito Beach Club, an exclusive upscale dining experience, which debuted on Friday, February 14. Developed by Rockwell Island Development Group (RIDGE) in partnership with Banyan Group, the community now features Bonito Beach Club in collaboration with Jonas and Alexandra Millán, founders of the renowned Bonito St Barth and the Juvia Group.
Tucked away on a private beach on Rockwell Island, Bonito Beach Club features a stylish open-air restaurant and bar, beachfront lounge areas with chaises and private cabanas, and VIP table service, which creates an inviting yet exclusive atmosphere with views of crystal-clear waters and famed Bahamian beaches. The club offers yachting and tender services, weekend activities including fitness classes and a wellness series, padel and tennis courts, and a children’s recreational area.
Curated by The Juvia Group, the American Riviera-style restaurant combines coastal flavors with classic cuisine, and the chef hand-selects the day’s finest catches just hours before they are expertly crafted into exquisite dishes. A separate bar offers a variety of cocktails, all distinguished and suited for every personality, and bottle service is also available for the cabanas and beach chairs.
Banyan Tree Bimini Resort & Residences is located 48 nautical miles east of Miami and is accessible by boat, private charter jet, helicopter, and seaplane. RIDGE recently unveiled a helipad on property, further enhancing accessibility to Rockwell Island, along with a seaplane terminal in collaboration with Tropic Ocean Airways. Both the helipad and seaplane terminal will shorten travel times from major markets and provide Miami travelers door-to-door transportation in under 30 minutes.
The forthcoming residences offer a rare ownership opportunity for buyers seeking a private retreat complemented by the signature five-star services and amenities of renowned hospitality brand, Banyan Tree. 54 custom waterfront residences are available in five custom layouts designed by award-winning architectural firm Oppenheim Architecture, led by Founder Chad Oppenheim. Each residence will have a private dock, nearby beach access, and ample indoor/outdoor space suited for both relaxation and entertaining. Sales and construction have begun with prices starting at $3.5 million, and the first five complete residences will be delivered in early 2025.
The 50-key five-star Banyan Tree hotel, also designed by Chad Oppenheim, will have 24 beachfront villas and 26 overwater bungalows. The second phase of the project includes plans for a deepwater superyacht marina, private 18-hole golf course, and members’-only clubhouse. Residents gain access to the private club upon closing, as will the development’s resort guests. Banyan Tree Bimini Resort & Residences offers dedicated memberships to Bonito Beach Club for those commuting from Miami or elsewhere in the world.
