Rosewood Little Dix Bay

What the classifiers highlight

Five hundred acres of Virgin Gorda wilderness surround this resort, once a Laurance Rockefeller eco retreat before Rosewood took over. Forbes counts 81 rooms, cottages and villas in wood and stone, each guest assigned a butler, plus a yoga platform over 25 miles of coastline. Chef Francisco Sanabria runs four restaurants, and the cliffside spa overlooks the channel.
