This 157-room resort epitomizes the tropical informality and natural beauty of the British Virgin Islands. Hidden away on a 52-acre estate in Tortola, Long Bay rises up the hillside from a mile of talcum-powder sand caressed by the gentle Caribbean Sea. Dive or sail around the island's hidden treasures, or just relax in the spa. Villas are perfect for families seeking an island retreat. Pampering, ocean views, adventure, relaxation, quality time with loved ones, and smiling faces come standard at Long Bay Beach Resort & Villas.

The island's colonial history is reflected throughout, such as the main building suggestive of a plantation house, the beach restaurant set in an 18th-century sugar mill and many of the private villas evoking traditional island homes.

In addition to historic elements, Long Bay's leisure activities and dining opportunities fulfill all the requirements of a contemporary tropical resort. Leisure activities include a swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness room and scuba-diving facilities, as well as a Wellness Spa & Salon; while the venues range from hillside, poolside or beachfront and the cuisine varying from informal grills and fresh seafood to Continental specialties and traditional Italian favorites.
