Rosewood Little Dix Bay (British Virgin Islands)

Regarding hotel bequests, Rosewood Little Dix Bay outranks many other Caribbean stays: Oil tycoon Laurance Rockefeller first built the hotel, which, due to its notable beginnings, reeled in global elite from near and far, including Queen Elizabeth and family. 

The 82-key Rosewood Little Dix Bay boasts 42 cottages, 35 suites, and five villas. The onsite Sense Spa's menu offers an extensive list of Afro-Caribbean treatments passed down from generation to generation: Therapists knead out stressed-induced body knots with bamboo canes and volcanic stone, then on-offer wraps comprise local fauna (think ingredients such as jumbie tree, tamarind leaves, plus lemongrass). Four restaurants dot the premises, ensuring gastronomes have an assemblage of eateries to dine at, from Caribbean-style tapas at courtyard-located Sugar Mill to Airy Reef House's offering of sybaritic comfort food: wagyu burgers, grilled lobster, and brownies are all on the menu.
