Choosing between the Caribbean’s many beautiful destinations for your next getaway is a happy dilemma.
When almost all of them have perfect sandy beaches, tropical greenery, crystal-clear seas, and exclusive resorts, what sets some of its islands apart?
It’s about knowing the vibe you are looking for, and increasingly UHNWIs choose privacy, tranquility in nature, and understated luxury over indulgent excess and lively crowds.
That is where the British Virgin Islands stand out – or rather, where they rest slightly under the radar. This Caribbean archipelago attracts a highly refined clientele while remaining unpretentious, and is notable not only for its quiet, tucked-away beaches, but also the rare natural features that reward visitors with a feeling of personal discovery.
These are exemplified by Virgin Gorda’s timeless scenery: the Baths National Park, where volcanic boulders formed 70 million years ago make for a short, visually dramatic trek – some of it through atmospheric caverns, warm tidal pools, and seawater grottos. This leisurely trail culminates at Devil’s Bay National Park, a memorably beautiful beach where swimming and snorkeling – or peaceful sunbathing on its soft sands – are the adventurer’s reward.
A refined, welcoming place to become familiar with Virgin Gorda’s barefoot luxury, Rosewood Little Dix Bay strikes exactly the right balance. Guests enjoy exclusive access to one of the island’s secluded beaches at this retreat, where accommodation options range from spacious beach-front villas and cottages for families or friend groups, to ocean-view suites with private pools for couples. Impeccable butler service is offered to enhance all stays.
A sense of wild discovery around the island is matched by the exceptional standard of personal service and curation at this serene resort. Couples seeking relaxation can reserve the Sense Spa’s Cliff Spa Suite, where private terraces overlook the ocean, and a Sunset Serenity treatment imbues a sense of romance.
Nature is part of the spa experience, thanks to treatments inspired by indigenous plants, such as a broom-flower and honey sugar scrub, an after-sun body soother made with oat milk, aloe vera, jojoba, and peppermint essential oils, and a stimulating bamboo-cane massage.
A private rum tasting experience or dinner served on the beach brings a wellness day to a fittingly indulgent close.
