Laidback Luxury Meets Unparalleled Natural Beauty

Nestled along the pristine shores of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, Long Bay Beach Resort invites you to redefine true luxury with its laid back, free-spirited soul, and unparalleled natural beauty.

Long Bay Beach Resort, on a mile-long stretch of white sands on the west coast, is the epitome of a dream getaway.

Recently awarded the prestigious TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for 2024, Long Bay Beach Resort has unveiled a remarkable new phase, featuring six new beachside villas, a beachfront house, and various new guest facilities that highlight island hospitality.

Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of waves and stepping onto your private terrace to watch the sunrise. Each beachside villa is meticulously designed to provide an intimate and serene environment. These sought-after beachside villas, located just steps from the turquoise Caribbean waters, offer an unrivaled blend of privacy, comfort, and stunning views.

Within eyeshot of ‘The Sugar Loaf’, one of Tortola’s main landmarks and Amerindian heritage site, guests enjoy the sunset as it rests on the top of this sugar-shaped mound, or the panorama of the sister island Jost Van Dyke.

Featuring airy interiors, plush furnishings, and modern amenities, these villas are perfect for couples, families, and solo travelers alike. Adorned with natural wooden touches and boho furnishings, the beachside villas create a warm and inviting ambiance that instantly makes you feel at home. Long Bay Beach Resort captures the true spirit of the British Virgin Islands.

The resort’s design reflects the island’s rich cultural heritage, a nod to traditional Caribbean bungalows, seamlessly blending a Malibu and Tulum elegance with traditional Virgin Islands charm.

THE GYPSET LIFESTYLE

At Long Bay Beach Resort, the Gypset (Gypsy and Jetset) lifestyle is embraced. General Manager Patrick Hoffman says the resort is seeing many Gypset guests, who are financially independent and successful, but whose values in life are beyond their bank accounts.

Gypset, coined by Julia Chaplin, is an ‘unconventional, bohemian approach to life.’ Chaplin used the term to describe the diverse people she met or was inspired by, who, she says, “perfected a creative approach to life that fuses the freelance and nomadic ways of the mythologic gypsy with the adventurous freedom of the jet set.”

REDEFINING LUXURY

“Luxury is not identified by the monetary value of our products but by the personal value you place on your own experience with us,” says General Manager Patrick Hoffman, and continues, “Seeing beauty in every part of the world differently is what makes your stay with us luxurious and unique.”

Patrick says this only adds to the Gypset spirit of the resort, which seeks to disconnect from a lifestyle of hustle and bustle, and establish a greater connection to self, where guests are at peace, and not always on the run.

Long Bay Beach Resort guests are encouraged to experience the luxury and freedom of the flow by wandering barefoot, roaming outdoors in shorts, or staying comfy indoors in bathrobes, and overall, to simply savoring the charm of the resort. The facilities and interiors are thoughtfully designed to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, but one that also births spontaneous moments and new long lasting memories.

WELLNESS

An island escape wouldn’t be complete without indulging in some well-deserved pampering. The resort’s recently launched new spa and wellness facilities offer a range of treatments designed to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul, featuring an infrared sauna, a fully equipped gym, and a yoga deck.

“Our goal is to create memorable experiences that enhance your well-being without taking you out of your comfort zone. Imagine meditating to the sound of the ocean, practicing yoga under swaying palm trees, and connecting with nature in ways that rejuvenate your spirit,” says GM Patrick.

At Long Bay Beach Resort, newly laid tennis and pickleball courts are nestled amidst lush tropical landscapes, overlooking the Caribbean ocean, offering a picturesque setting for both avid players and enthusiastic beginners.

Whether you’re perfecting your serve on professional-grade tennis courts or enjoying a spirited game of pickleball with friends and family, their newly laid courts promise an active and exhilarating experience. Equipped with rental gear and professional coaching, Long Bay Beach Resort caters to all skill levels, ensuring that everyone can partake in the fun and competitive spirit of these dynamic sports. After an invigorating game of tennis or pickleball, treat yourself to a culinary delight at the beachfront restaurant.

DINING

Restaurant 1748 is curated within the historic walls of an old rum distillery, dating back to the year – you guessed it – 1748. This unique setting provides an authentic touch of the island’s rich history, blending the charm of the past with modern culinary excellence. As you dine, you’ll be surrounded by the original stone walls that once housed the intricate processes of rum production, creating an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and enchanting. Long Bay Beach Resort takes pride in this rich cultural heritage, beautifully reflected in its ever-evolving menu.

“Our restaurant aims to offer a culinary journey that celebrates the vibrant flavors from Mediterranean casual cuisine to the fine tastes of the Caribbean. With an on-site organic garden supplying fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs, every meal is a feast for the senses,” says Patrick.

Patrick aims to celebrate Caribbean culture with an innovative new upcoming menu, designed to transform your dining experience and ensure each visit brings fresh and delightful surprises.

Speaking about the expanded menu with Caribbean flair, Patrick says, “We have a responsibility as a hotel to encourage our guests to explore the Virgin Islands culture. It’s important to reflect the local culture, as part of cultural identity, is certainly the food. ”

He also revealed the exciting news and shared plans for a new Japanese restaurant featuring the exquisite “Omakase” style, which means “Trust The Chef”, including a highly skilled Japanese chef. This addition promises to bring a taste of the East to the Caribbean paradise, offering guests a unique and sophisticated dining experience that complements Long Bay Beach Resort’s existing culinary offerings.
