The hype
Guests are obsessed with the 'boho-chic' renovation and the stunning beach views, but often frustrated by the price-to-service ratio.
Long Bay Beach Resort
$600-900+/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want a barefoot-luxury aesthetic that feels like Malibu met Tulum, but on a quiet corner of Tortola.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- The mile-long white sand beach is stunning and uncrowded
- Design-forward rooms with natural textures and Byredo amenities
- Direct access to Smuggler's Cove, one of the BVI's best swimming spots
Kurzfassung: It's a visual masterpiece with a relaxed vibe, but the service speed is on 'island time' and the price tag is heavy for a place with thin walls.
Bewertet von @tyloren08: I stayed in the Beachside Villa and honestly, I fit the vibe so well! The mix of stone, wood, and white decor is stunning, and having a private plunge pool just steps from the ocean made this my favorite room ever. You need to book this for your next reset.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, but it's rough and rocky directly in front of the resort. Walk 5-10 minutes west or drive to Smuggler's Cove for calm swimming.
Is breakfast included?
No. Expect to pay $18-35+ per person for a la carte options like the 'Longbay Signature Breakfast'.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, but there is no kids' club and the vibe is very adult/romantic. The pool is small and deep.
How far is the airport?
It's a 45-50 minute drive from Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) on the other end of the island.
Is there a resort fee?
Yes, $25 per person per night, plus a 10% service charge on the room rate.
Can I bring my dog?
No, the resort has a strict no-pets policy.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
The bathroom windows have a 'magic frost' button that turns the glass opaque for privacy instantly.
- ✨

Monday tennis lessons and Sunday yoga are often complimentary—ask the front desk for the schedule.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'garden' bridge was historically where donkeys trampled sugar cane.
💡The pool area is largely concrete and lacks sufficient umbrellas, making it scorching hot at midday.
💡There is no front desk in the traditional sense; check-in can feel a bit informal or confusing.
💡Room service is only available during restaurant hours, so no late-night snacks.
💡The 'Hillside' rooms are quite a hike up; not great if you have mobility issues.
