Set along a perfect curl of custard-coloured sand and enveloped by forestry, Rosewood Little Dix Bay is one of the Caribbean’s most renowned resorts, opened by conservationist Laurance Rockefeller in 1964 and still loved by its many repeat guests for its commitment to sustainable tourism.
Set on Virgin Gorda’s west coast, the resort sits on an idyllic half mile of white-sand beach embraced by forested hillsides, with views across a turquoise sea to a near-endless horizon.
A multi-million-dollar makeover prior to its reopening in 2020 has kept mod-cons up to date while maintaining the relaxed atmosphere and unpretentious style that regulars so adore.
Most activities are, unsurprisingly, water based, including trips to the Baths of Virgin Gorda and drop-offs by boat on deserted beaches with gourmet hampers and chilled champagne.
Every room and suite has its own appeal; some have hexagonal footprints and exposed stone walls, some have private plunge pools while others are stilted treehouses with incredible sea views.
Children of all ages are welcome, with younger guests entertained with everything from local storytelling to jewellery making, while older kids will love all the watersports on offer.
