Little Dix offers a really unique combination - a luxurious island
hideaway that is perfect for the children too. A sweeping half-mile
crescent beach and spectacular manicured gardens create a wonderful
setting for this charming resort on the beautiful and underdeveloped
island of Virgin Gorda in the BVIs. Indeed, one of the true pleasures
whilst staying at the resort is the chance to be dropped onto one of the
many pristine beaches and islets around Virgin Gorda that can only be
accessed by sea and for which the resort offers a complimentary water
taxi service. Discover your own private space and chill out!
The rooms and cottages, which are located either on the beachfront or
set back within the beautiful gardens, offer great character and excellent
features, including a balcony or terrace and easy access to the beach.
You’ll also find one of the best spas in the region and an outstanding
children’s club. The resort's three dining venues specialise in fresh
Caribbean cuisine, including the open-air Pavilion, the intimate Sugar
Mill, and the Beach Grill, which serves light-fare on the white sands.
Following a $35 million refurbishment in 2010, Jumby Bay has re-opened
its doors. The resort is on a 300-acre private island just two miles north of
Antigua and is only accessible by boat
This luxurious all-inclusive hideaway features 40 suites and 11 two, three and
four bedroom villas with their own pools. Each suite comes complete with a
bicycle for each guest or a golf cart for the villas. Amenities include
sumptuous Italian linens and 42" flat-screen TV with Bose sound system and
wireless Internet. Urbanites will also approve the Nespresso coffee machine.
There are three restaurants offering a range of Caribbean and
Mediterranean cuisine and the original 230 year old manor house is home
to one of the restaurants. Accommodation is on an all-inclusive basis which
includes all meals and drinks by the glass, including the excellent House
Champagne.
Guests can enjoy a variety of water sports including snorkelling, water
skiing, windsurfing and sailing off the island’s pristine white sand beaches,
which are also home to the Jumby Bay Hawksbill Turtle Project.
