Just beyond a colorful barrier reef, lapped by gentle blue waters, lies the softly curving crescent beach of Little Dix Bay. A paradise which offers tranquility found nowhere else in the Caribbean; 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.

Centered around a secluded, crescent-shaped beach on the island of Virgin Gorda, Little Dix Bay rewards its discerning guests with an instantaneous retreat from their fast-paced lives. A stroll around Little Dix is like a walk through an enchanted garden. Shaded walkways curve through verdant lawns that roll down the sea. The resort is a sanctuary for soft adventurists and water sports enthusiasts seeking aquatic activities such as diving, snorkeling, sailing and hiking. It is also 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. 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.
