Little Dix Bay: A Retreat From the "Real World"

Luxury Resorts: At Little Dix Bay you get the impression of unhurried time, serenity and peace as you enter its well-manicured gardens and footpaths. Guest rooms and villas blend right into the island's lush landscape. Romantic views are available from every room and the raw beauty of Virgin Gorda only adds to the charm.

Step out into the porch or patio to feel the bracing breeze that Virgin Gorda is famous for. And when you step out of Little Dix Bay, you can enjoy breathtaking sights of white sand beaches, jade-like hillsides, and crystal clear waters of the British Virgin Islands. The resort offers complimentary services and amenities such as snorkeling gear and lessons, kayaks, small sailboats and water taxis to transport you to other nearby beaches. Hiking trails are also nearby, and if you prefer to simply relax on the grounds, coffee is served every morning and tea in the afternoon.

The exotic plant life at Virgin Gorda's many national parks is also a major draw. At the Little Fort National Park you can watch several species of migratory birds flying over the hills and trees. If nature is what you are after, Little Dix offers guided snorkeling tours, island tours and scuba diving. Also available are luxury yacht charters, private beach dinners, water-skiing, fishing charters and sunset cocktail cruises.

If you are fond of discovering history and culture, Virgin Gorda also has plenty to offer. Visit the ruins of Little Fort National Park, explore the Cornish Copper Mines, or learn about the impact the British had on the local culture in Spanish Town. Afterwards, unwind at the luxurious Spa at Little Dix Bay and indulge in one of their signature treatments in a private cottage nestled among lush tropical gardens.

Little Dix is luxury travel at its finest. Every activity, from spending the day out on the water, discovering the culture of a Caribbean island, to rejuvenating at a first class spa, this resort has it covered; this is the ultimate retreat from the "real world."
