British Virgin Islands beachfront suites - Rosewood Little Dix Bay

THE RESORT

Just beyond a colorful barrier reef, lapped by gentle blue waters, lies Rosewood Little Dix Bay. Its a paradise offering tranquility found nowhere else in the Caribbean; a place where the pristine shoreline and the soaring rock cathedrals of the Baths of Virgin Gorda create an unrivaled setting in which time seems to be suspended. It is the ultimate setting for the “ultimate reward.” Centered around a secluded, crescent-shaped beach on the island of Virgin Gorda, Little Dix Bay is equally suited for active team building or a “think tank” retreat. The bonding opportunities for colleagues and clients are unmatched. The resort is a sanctuary for soft adventurists and water sports enthusiasts as well as a gourmand’s fantasy with world-class dining in spectacular settings.

In the absence of the commercialism that cushions one from the Caribbean, Little Dix Bay connects one to the surroundings. Villas, cottages and guestrooms blend unobtrusively into the surrounding landscape; guests arriving by boat do not notice any apparent building lines, only white sand with Bohio huts as sunshades against a backdrop of sea grape trees and coconut palms. This attribute upholds founder Laurance Rockefeller’s vision of a vacation hideaway that emulates a style of low-key luxury while embracing conservation and reverence for the environment.
