For utter paradise, you’d have to look far and wide for a spot that beats Rosewood Little Dix Bay. The beachfront hotel is one of the finest across the Caribbean, boasting forest vistas, a half mile of white sand, and spectacular waters.

The sense of vacation adventure begins before you even set sight upon the hotel itself; the island Virgin Gorda is best accessed from Tortola Beef Island Airport, where a 20-minute boat crossing is provided by the resort’s catamaran. 

For bigger families, we can’t recommend the Laurence House enough; able to accommodate up to 10 guests, the ocean-facing villa includes a private pool, access to the beach, and beautiful outdoor dining facilities.
