Rosewood Little Dix Bay, the legendary island escape on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, is pleased to share that it has been recognized on Travel + Leisure’s esteemed 2021 It List. Selected by the magazine’s distinguished editorial team, this year’s It List recognizes 73 of the most impressive new and revamped properties that debuted within the last year. The list features hotels and resorts located around the globe and underscores the resiliency, creativity and standout hospitality of the travel industry, particularly in this past year. Rosewood Little Dix Bay, along with the other winning properties, is sure to inspire wanderlust and offer travelers more reason to get out and explore the world as it opens up once again.

“It is an honor to be recognized as one of the best new hotels and resorts in the world by the well-respected editors at Travel +Leisure,” “Following our four-year closure and renovation, we reopened Rosewood Little Dix Bay last January, just before the pandemic caused the hospitality industry worldwide to pause operations. Despite the unprecedented challenges we faced in our reopening year, we are thankful for the overwhelmingly positive response we have received from our guests and community alike. This latest distinction is on account of our associates’ dedication to bespoke service and the unmatched experiences our resort offers our visitors.”

Andreas Pade, managing director of Rosewood Little Dix Bay

Originally founded by conservationist Laurance Rockefeller over half a century ago, Rosewood Little Dix Bay reopened in January 2020 following a complete revival and redesign, while also staying true to its identity as a leading example of ecotourism. Set across 500 acres of pristine private beachfront and breathtaking flora and fauna, the reimagined resort provides an unparalleled island escape with expertly appointed accommodations, inspired amenities, dynamic dining outlets and bespoke services and programming. Unobstructed views of the sea are on display from each and every one of the resort’s 81 accommodations, as well as the four dining concepts offering fresh and locally-inspired cuisine in an unmatched ambiance. Additional amenities and services on offer include devoted butler service, luxury catamaran airport transfers, two swimming pools overlooking the water, six tennis courts and a cliffside Sense ®, A Rosewood Spa.
