Reviews say it has closed. Vanilla Alternative was an upmarket lifestyle club in Sandy with themed events, multiple play areas, and accommodation rooms. Reviews from when it was operating praised the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere, though some felt gatekeeping by appearance and concerns about inclusivity for single men and trans guests.

Update: I believe this business is in the process of liquidation according to public information on companies house. As of end of 2025…. There is a statement/certificate online which shows that they cannot continue to operate as a business….all signed by clubs owner as of October 2025…so either there’s a new owner or they’re not meant to be trading at all? It would explain why things have gone so far downhill in the…
What a place 🫡 also we would never talk about what happens inside 😇 a flawless evening, nice room, stayed in room 7..small but adequate and very clean. Drink prices reasonable, staff very good and work hard to ensure everyone has a good time. 10/10 for our first visit 🙏 will definitely be back again. Thank you 🤩
My partner and I decided to make our first visit to Vanilla Alternative on Bi invertation night. We could not have picked a better occasion to have made our first visit. From the outside Vanilla did not look all that but the car park was full, and when we got in, met Tanya the host, who was fantastic, and got the guided tour from Bryan we saw what a fantastic club this is. All of the areas were clean, the crowd were…
I've been part of this community for many years and have always valued the inclusive and respectful environment these venues aim to provide. During my experience here, I felt there was a strong emphasis on appearance-based vetting. I appreciate that organisers have the right to curate their own events and set their own admission criteria, but this approach didn't reflect what I personally value about the lifestyle. F…
Attended a WWW(what woman want) event here. As a new comer it wasn’t welcoming at all, very clicky and made to feel like a spare part. As a single man stay well clear, all your doing is bank rolling it while regulars have a good time. The outside pool was dirty and needed cleaning along with interior jacuzzi, cold temp with no jets on.
Would be a 5 star but always feel looked down on as a single man when allowed entry. When with a female friend or couple however, 9/10 experience. Exitable, Friendly environment with plenty of women approaching. Hope was same for others.
Simply the best club I have ever been to!!! Very smart upmarket and feels luxurious- Really friendly staff and people felt very safe and relaxed has everything you could possibly ask for can’t recommend enough!!
Not inclusive to all trans people. I emailed twice about prices/facilities for nonbinary people and received no reply. They don’t seem to recognise that trans men and nonbinary people exist. Edit: despite the owner’s reply, I have checked the website yet again and there is no provision nor prices for nonbinary individuals. Everything (including ticket price) is divided into male and female. My points still stand, and…
