The Rosewood Little Dix Bay has reopened following an extensive four-year renovation. Global architecture firm OBMI has spearheaded the revamp of the hotel’s architecture, while New York-based firm Meyer Davis conceived its interiors. Inspired by its idyllic setting, the redesign also reflects the influence of Laurance Rockefeller, who founded the resort more than half a century ago.
Spread across 500 acres of Virgin Gorda, the largest island in the British Virgin Islands, the retreat conveys design staples like conical roofs crowning its pavilion, along with unique décor and authentic artifacts.
Included among the hotel’s 80 accommodations are 42 guestrooms and 35 suites, in addition to two private beach houses. The mostly digital-free sanctuaries aim to immerse visitors in their surroundings. Fixed atop Dover Hill, the onsite luxury villa, Villa Joy, is endowed with amenities like a grand living room and dining space, private pool, outdoor dining pavilion, and a barbecue area.
Among the four new dining options are the alfresco concept Reef House and open-air restaurant Sugar Mill, which are designed to further perpetuate the bond with nature. Housed at the heart of the resort beneath vaulted rooftops, Pavilion serves as a more laidback option alongside the adjacent Rum Room. Overlooking the Sir Francis Drake Channel, Sense, a Rosewood Spa is meticulously crafted to reflect the tranquil ethos of the island with eight treatment rooms. The resort also features a two-tiered infinity pool, six new tennis courts, and a fitness center.
