2 | Rosewood Little Dix Bay
T
hough it’s marking 50 years of ex-
istence throughout 2014, the ori-
gins of what is now the Rosewood
Little Dix Bay resort stretch all the way to
1958 – when U.S.-based philanthropist and
conservationist Laurance Rockefeller hap-
pened upon the location during a sailing trip
with his wife, Mary.
He was so enchanted by Virgin Gorda
– now the third-largest and second most-
populous island in the British Virgin Islands
archipelago– that hewanted to try andmain-
tain its raw and rustic feel even while pursu-
ing development opportunities throughout
the rest of the island.
The hotel opened six years later on Jan.
