The Top 3 Hotels Near The Baths
-
A private island resort in the BVI that's been around for years, recently rebuilt after a hurricane took it out, and now it's better than before. All 52 rooms sit right on Deadman's Beach, which is exactly as idyllic as it sounds. Five beaches, a spa, a steakhouse, a casual grill, and a yacht club for when your superyacht pulls in. The crowd wears linen and looks suspiciously unbothered. This is serious switch-off territory.

A Forbes Four Star resort tucked into 500 acres of Virgin Gorda wilderness, Little Dix Bay is the kind of place that makes you forget what day it is by noon. Cottages and villas sit right on a white-sand beach, the design is quietly elegant rather than flashy, and the crowd tends to be the quietly wealthy sort who don't need to tell you about it. Snorkeling, hiking, spa, tennis, two pools, and someone to take your kids.

This is a full-on Ritz-Carlton beach resort sitting right on Great Bay, which means ocean views from basically everywhere you look. Two pools, a strip of sand, kayaking and snorkeling on the house, a DJ all afternoon, and live music after dark. Families get their own pool; adults get the infinity one with the cabanas, which is a civilized arrangement. The kind of place where your biggest decision is whether to order another cocktail before or after the paddleboard.
