Little Dix Bay opened in 1964 as one of Laurance Rockefeller's resorts in the Caribbean, built to sit lightly on the land. After Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, it was rebuilt and reopened in 2020. Rooms, suites and villas are spread along the beach and the hillside, with timber, stone and open-air spaces in a modern take on the original style.
The bay is sheltered and good for swimming, snorkeling and paddleboarding. The Baths, the granite boulder beaches at the south of the island, are a short drive away, and the resort's boats run to quieter beaches and the reefs and islands of the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Sailing is the reason many people come to the BVI, and a day or a few nights on a crewed yacht pairs well with a stay here.
Little Dix suits families, couples and sailors who want calm water and a relaxed pace. Getting there takes some effort: most people fly via San Juan or Antigua to Beef Island on Tortola and then take a boat. The hurricane season runs from June to November.
Rosewood Little Dix Bay sits on a long, calm crescent of sand on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. It was founded by Laurance Rockefeller in the 1960s and rebuilt after the 2017 hurricanes. It suits families and sailors who want a quiet, low-key Caribbean resort.
