Note that this tiny luxury hotel has space for families, and absolutely welcomes them, but it is not a resort with lots of amenities. Jost Van Dyke is a quiet island. This is a place to slow down and take it easy in comfort.
Jost Van Dyke is one of the four main islands in the British Virgin Islands, situated to the northwest of Tortola and east of the U.S. Virgin Islands. It can be reached by ferry from either Tortola, St. Thomas, or St. John.
The Hideout sits on White Bay Beach, one of Jost Van Dyke’s standout spots, made famous by Kenny Chesney’s songs about the island. It’s famous for its powdery white sand and calm, turquoise waters—and for being home to the Soggy Dollar Bar, home of the original Painkiller.
You’ll arrive in Jost Van Dyke by ferry and be greeted at the terminal by a welcoming staff member from The Hideout White Bay hotel. If you room isn’t ready, let them whisk away your suitcases while you head into town for breakfast at Tipsy Shark (just a short walk or drive).
To get to the Hideout, you’ll drive up over a hill, and take in the stunning White Bay Beach from above. You’ll see the tops of The Hideouts 7-villas before you descend the hill down to them.
The Hideout l;uxury family hotel in Jost Van Dyke features five 1BR villas and two 2BR villas. Each has a private deck and plunge pool. There’s one two bedroom villa right on the beach – splurge for that one for a luxury family stay if it’s available. A handful are hillside rooms just a few steps back, which don’t have the same ocean breezes or views, but which are still very comfortable.
The villas are elevated on stilts for optimal views. Underneath each villa is a private sitting area, which is where you’ll be checked in, and also where any spa appointments will take place.
The rooms are decorated in white wash wood and calming colors. Glass doors open fully to create an open air concept when desired. But at night, blackout shades, air conditioning, and bamboo sheets set you up for a deep sleep. The rooms feel very modern, with smart TVs, high-speed internet, and an overall clean and elevated feel.
Beyond your private villa, White Bay Beach beckons. Spend the days on Jost Van Dyke with your kids relaxing in the sand and retreat to your ultra comfortable sleep space at night.
Hendo’s Hideout next door, the affiliated restaurant, has a beach volleyball court and lawn games that the kids will enjoy. The staff at The Hideout also keeps sand toys and other fun stuff on hand for kids, so don’t hesitate to ask to see what they have. The staff here, while small, will absolutely go out of their way to make your stay at this Jost Van Dyke luxury hotel a memorable one.
If you want to venture beyond the beach, the Hideout concierge is there to help.
