Long Bay Tortola
Hotel Information: Spread over 52 acres of forested hillside and oceanfront, the resort attracts couples and families seeking rest, relaxation, and a beach perfect for quiet walks. Many guests return annually and take up residence for extended periods.
Amenity highlights: An expansive pool complex is terraced into the hotel's hillside and features a panoramic ocean view. Guests enjoy a large freeform pool with swim-up bar, a children's pool, and a 12-foot-long water slide. An eight-person spa tub is secluded in a rock-and-flower garden. Mile-long Long Bay Beach features waves suitable for boogie boarding and body-surfing. During summer, when surf diminishes, snorkeling is popular off the beach.
Insider tip: In winter, when surf kicks up on Long Bay, low-price shuttles transport guests to calmer waters for snorkeling.
This resort offers 156 guestrooms and villas in two- and three-story buildings arrayed along the beach and on a steep, forested hillside. Hillside rooms and villas are 75 to 150 yards from the beach. All rooms have balconies or terraces with Atlantic Ocean views. Villas feature 350-square-foot, ocean-view wood decks. Tropical decor includes tile floors, floral fabrics, and cream-colored walls and furniture. Rooms are cooled with air conditioning and ceiling fans augment air conditioning. Televisions offer U.S. cable channels. Some rooms have high-speed Internet access (surcharge). |
