Why we like it for families

The Family-Oriented Vibe. We wouldn’t send kids to every Rosewood property, but Little Dix Bay truly is a family-friendly luxury resort. Between the Rosewood Explorer Kids’ Club (starting at age 3), the full suite of baby gear provided to new parents, and the calm beach and meandering pathways, there will be no doubt from the moment you arrive that kids’ are welcome at Little Dix Bay. This resort nearly perfectly captures the combination of family friendly + luxury.
The Rooms. Anyone considering a stay at Little Dix Bay, or who just wants a little luxury travel inspiration, should do a 360 degree virtual tour of the Treehouse Suite or One-Bedroom Pool Suite. You can imagine your family spreading out in the airy, brightly designed space, and settling into a totally relaxed beach vibe.
The Beach and Pools. If paradise to you sounds like an idyllic Caribbean beach plus a winding infinity pool with a kid-friendly shallow end overlooking the ocean, this resort should be on your bucket list. The beach here is really one of the best in the Virgin Islands, with calm waters for kids.
The Staff. The staff at a luxury resort can make or break your vacation with kids, and the Rosewood Little Dix Bay prioritizes customer service. Parents and kids alike will be treated as VIPs, and the butler service that comes with every room is a huge bonus!

Rosewood Little Dix Bay offers Mango Tree guests VIP amenities including: Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability; $100 resort credit; Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability; Complimentary Wi-Fi. Let’s get you VIP’d!

Location and Activities

Rosewood Little Dix Bay is nestled on the pristine island of Virgin Gorda in the heart of the British Virgin Islands. Most travelers will land at Tortola’s international airport (EIS), and the resort offers a private 20-minute boat transfer for a seamless arrival.

With convenient proximity to the iconic Baths National Park, Spring Bay (a quieter alternative to the Baths), and Gorda Peak National Park, you may want to rent a car to explore at your own speed. The road network on Virgin Gorda is relatively small and easy to navigate, though you’ll need to drive on the left. Alternatively, taxi drivers are readily available at popular tourist areas, the airport, and the ferry dock, and can provide local insights and recommendations to enhance your experience.

Rosewood Little Dix Bay Hotel is an iconic property in Virgin Gorda, a destination in and of itself, with a stunning beachfront location. Conveniently close to the airport and Virgin Gorda’s top beaches and natural attractions, the property stands out for its lush tropical landscapes and breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea. The hotel’s smart and natural design seamlessly blends with its idyllic surroundings, creating a sense of harmony with nature.
Breathtaking ocean views will greet you around every corner, and the pool area is no exception. The main infinity pool is just a stone’s throw from the sandy beach, with a unique design that beautifully winds around natural foliage. If you’re in the mood for some peaceful downtime, the adult-only infinity pool at the spa may prove to be your favorite spot.
The Watersports Office has an array of activity options for kids, from sailing lessons to snorkeling excursions.
The rooms and suites are tucked into the greenery, but also just steps from the beach. Kids will love running through the shady pathways, while you linger behind with your coffee or cocktail. The Junior Suites are the entry level rooms for families with young kids, fitting two adults, one rollaway, and a crib. As your family grows, expand to the Tree House Suites or Grand One-Bedroom Pool Suites, which can comfortably fit up to 2 adults and 3 kids. Suites with multiple bedrooms and villas are available as well. Every room at Little Dix Bay comes with butler service to ensure your every need is met during your stay. In the rooms, you’ll feel an effortless “barefoot luxury.” The resort embraces a cozy, mid-century modern design with natural materials, colorful accents and light-filled spaces that seamlessly connect with the lush landscape.
Make sure you know what amenities you’re expecting when booking – only Beach Houses and Villas have TVs (a plus for some!). One child (age 11 and younger) stays free in a room with his or her parents, but there is a rollaway bed fee.
For babies, the Rose Buds program offers amenities to make parents’ lives easier, including Baby monitors, highchairs, cribs, bathtubs, diaper pails, bottle warmers, strollers, and more. Beyond the toddler years, the Kids Club is divided into age groups (3-6 and 7-12) and offers a variety of complimentary programs such as scavenger hunts, crafts, and “pirate parties” on Monday nights, while parents can go to a adult-only cocktail party. The Teen’s Club provides entertainment with foosball, billiards, and ping pong.
The hotel also offers convenient babysitting services (minimum of 24 hours advance notice).
The Pavilion, the main open-air restaurant offering bay views, serves all three meals and features a popular Caribbean buffet on Monday nights. Guests rave about the slow-cooked seafood and local flavors. For a unique farm-to-table experience right by the beach, head to The Reef House, known for its outstanding vegetarian and seafood dishes. And for a romantic evening out (ages 12+), Sugar Mill is the upscale restaurant of choice, serving tapas and Asian-inspired cuisine.
Kids Menus are available at the Beach Grill (beach and poolside service with sandwiches and snacks) for lunch and in the Pavilion for dinner. In-room dining is always an option from 7am – 11pm.
Indulge in a must-visit experience at The Sense Spa, where you can treat yourself to a signature massage or a rejuvenating Bay Stone Scrub.
The Fitness Center is a spacious and well- equipped area, offering yoga, meditation, and cardio/strength training classes. The little ones are not forgotten either, with the option to enroll them in kids yoga, dance, and adventure hikes, ensuring a fun and active experience for all ages.
Don’t miss: The Little Dix Bay Boat Drops. Get dropped off at a secluded Virgin Gorda beach that can only be reached by boat, with a picnic, for an unforgettable day of relaxation, swimming, and snorkeling. The concierge team will help you pick the best beach you’re your family depending on your kids’ ages and interests.

Traveler Reviews

Incredible Stay!! The Little Dix at Virgin Gorda is an incredible resort for families, young or old couples. The beach is absolute clean, the water warm, and overall it provides the most relaxing vacations. The service is superb thought the hotel, and the rooms are modern and remodeled. I highly recommend staying in one of the beach villas as you will have your own seats on the beach few meters from your room. Nice for older people with tired legs. Though the food was overall ok, I think there is room for improvement. Overall, a fantastic resort and we can’t wait to come back!

Amazing experience! What a wonderful place. The resort is immaculate, nothing is out of place the staff is absolutely incredible. They are there to make your stay even better. The rooms are spacious, the beds are more than comfortable. I’ve never been able to sleep on hotel beds and these were amazing. The views are breathtaking and I can’t stress enough how the staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.
