Rosewood Little Dix Bay

Classic resort sanctuary set in 500-acre grounds curling around a picturesque beach. The 105 lodgings are crafted of native stone and purpleheart hardwood, each unit laid out with tiled floors, rattan furnishings (no TVs) and shower-only baths. Patios of the preferred Beach Front Cottages open directly onto the white-sand beach (request #7, #8, #19, #20 or #23-#26); for optimum comfort, book one of the eight newer Rosewood Junior Suites with separate sitting areas, oversize baths (tubs, indoor/outdoor showers) and scenic outdoor living areas. The resort also features several two- and four-bedroom villas set at the far end of the beach. Dining venues include the intimate Sugar Mill and an informal beach grill specializing in fresh seafood. Guided snorkeling tours and yacht day sails; also seven-court tennis garden and fitness facilities, plus spa with cliffside massage/aromatherapy treatment rooms. Other amenities include supervised children’s programs with a special activity center. Virgin Gorda is reached via daily flights from San Juan, St. Thomas and Beef Island (Tortola).
