Real estate company Coldwell Banker said the Josiah’s Bay-based property, which is approximately 8,000 square feet and sitting on about 2 1/2 acres of “flat, buildable land,” is being sold for $750,000.

Explaining the reason for the Tamarind Club up for sale, the Company said: “The Tamarind Club undeniably took a good and thorough bashing from Hurricane’s Irma and Maria, but out of adversity sometimes springs opportunity.”

It continued: “This nine-bedroom hotel with a very popular bar and restaurant is now being offered at an ‘As Is’ price of $750,000 which makes redevelopment and expansion a ‘no brainer’. Just moments from Tortola’s most famous surfing beach, Josiah’s Bay, The Tamarind Club’ simply screams “The Caribbean’s Hippest Surfing Hotel’! It’s just going to take a surfer with some vision and some gumption to make this dream a reality.”

In the meantime, the BVI Tourist Board (BVITB)’s website said the hotel was built in the mid-1970’s as a community centre for the Josiah’s Bay estate.

Since then, the facility “has evolved over the years from a happening music scene spot to a quiet holiday hotel with gourmet food, great fun, and sometimes a little lively mischief.”

Before the devastation, the BVITB described the club was an intimate hotel in the British Virgin Islands.
