By Land, By Sea or Right on the Edge
From Sense spa treatments to an exclusive Beach Drop service, let Rosewood Little Dix Bay customize a day that will keep you hopping beyond the beach
VIRGIN GORDA, BVI - Life moves languidly in the Caribbean, and thank goodness for that. But you don't necessarily have to take it lying down. Guests of Rosewood Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda, B.V.I., have a surplus of spirited diversions to choose from - on-shore, off, and right on the edge. Let the resort customize unique activities to create a perfect day for the active traveler in you:
BY LAND
The beauty of the sea aside, Rosewood Little Dix Bay has plenty for active land lovers, too. Start the day with a Guided Morning Hike past spectacular sea views from the Cow Hill or Savannah Bay Trail, or eclipse Virgin Gorda's highest point at the lookout station on Gorda Peak at 1,500 feet. Follow with a relaxing, gourmet Picnic Lunch at the end of the trail. In the afternoon, wander to Sense, A Rosewood Spa® for a signature treatment with indigenous island botanicals including Natural Neem Facial, Little Dix Bay Signature Body Scrub and Virgin Gorda Milk & Honey Wrap.
BY SEA
Lolling on the sand is lovely, but you'll miss the action waiting just offshore. Let Rosewood Little Dix Bay arrange a Scuba Diving adventure from beginner classes right at the resort to weekly excursions to the Wreck of the Rhone. Or stay above the blue waters with Waterskiing at nearby Pond Bay on the resort's 19-foot Grady White boat. In the afternoon, enjoy sailing aboard the resort's fleet of Sunfish and single and double Kayaks. Round out the day with a Sunset Cocktail Cruise aboard the resort's custom-built, 47-foot luxury catamaran, Sandy Cay.
RIGHT ON THE EDGE
Explore the beaches of Virgin Gorda with Rosewood Little Dix Bay's complementary Beach Drop service. Begin the day with shore-to-shore transportation via Boston Whaler to eight remote and stunning beaches around the island, including Devil's Bay mere steps from the renowned Baths. Upon request, the resort will prepare a delicious picnic lunch for guests to bring along. It's the perfect, intra-island escape for honeymooners and privacy seekers. Upon return, visit Sense, A Rosewood Spa® for a post-sun treatment and an afternoon snack from the new spa menu at Sense from Executive Chef Hemant Dadlani, combining Asian influences with Caribbean bounty for smartly caloric and full-flavored dishes as healthful as they are delicious.
Summer rates start at $395. For more information and reservations, call 888.ROSEWOOD.
