Legendary Caribbean resort to close for 18 months for an extensive refurbishment
Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands, 2016-Jan-21 — /Travel PR News/ — The legendary Rosewood Little Dix Bay resort will begin a complete renovation on May 1, 2016, signifying the most substantial beautification project since it was founded by Laurance S. Rockefeller over 50 years ago. The refurbishment will include the complete redesign of the resort’s guestrooms and suites, its three restaurants and overall enhancements to the landscaping. In order to properly execute and expedite the extensive renovation, Rosewood Little Dix Bay will close for approximately 18 months. Upon reopening towards the end of 2017, Rosewood Little Dix Bay will reaffirm its long-lasting reputation as the Caribbean’s leading luxury resort.
New York City-based Meyers Davis Studio, Inc. has been selected to lead the renovation and will oversee the overall design concept for the refreshed Rosewood Little Dix Bay. OBMI, a Miami-based architectural firm, will manage the new structure of the Beach Grill and the remodel of the resort’s guestrooms and suites. Landscape Contractors and Design (LCD) will carry out the design and overall enhancement of the resort’s landscaping, lighting and signage. Together, the three agencies will ensure that Rosewood Little Dix Bay honors Laurance S. Rockefeller’s original vision of a luxurious hideaway set amidst the pristine backdrop of Virgin Gorda.
The design teams will upgrade Rosewood Little Dix Bay’s guestrooms and suites and will introduce brand new signature suites for the ultimate in relaxation and style. A rebuilt Beach Grill with an open kitchen will offer a one-of-a-kind beach dining experience, while the iconic Pavilion and Sugar Mill buildings will remain intact but will feature extended indoor/outdoor dining areas. Guests will also enjoy an enhanced arrival experience and the resort’s vibrant tropical gardens will be enhanced with new lighting, signage and improved access to Little Dix Bay beach. The renovation will also bring the addition of new restaurant concepts for The Pavilion, Beach Grill and Sugar Mill; new world-class amenities; elevated service standards; and an increased focus on sustainability.
“This renovation is a testament to Rosewood Little Dix Bay’s commitment to providing unmatched luxury accommodations, the highest level of service, and the modern amenities that appeal to today’s luxury global travelers,” said Edward Linsley, managing director of Rosewood Little Dix Bay. “Temporarily closing the resort will allow us to complete this refurbishment as quickly as possible and allow our guests to return to our island paradise in 2017.”
Rosewood Little Dix Bay’s restoration is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2017 festive season. Once the resort reopens its doors, its breathtaking new design and exceptional array of amenities will reaffirm Rosewood Little Dix Bay’s position as the Caribbean’s most sought-after destination and provide guests with an unrivaled luxury experience.
