Long Bay Beach Resort is a beachfront resort on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, with 37 rooms, a restaurant in an 18th-century rum distillery and a mile of white sand.
Long Bay Beach Resort sits on a mile of white sand at Long Bay, on the West End of Tortola, the capital island of the British Virgin Islands. The resort is built on a 52-acre estate, and its rambling main building recalls a plantation house. Its 37 rooms include beach houses, beach villas, ground floor suites, ocean view suites and hillside studios, with ocean views and private balconies. The 1748 Restaurant occupies an 18th-century rum distillery on the beachfront, and its menus use fresh organic ingredients from island farms, fisheries and the resort's own garden.
Weddings take place on the resort's garden lawn, which seats up to 160 guests for a ceremony, or on the beachfront. An on-site coordinator works with couples on their plans, and the resort arranges the marriage licence through the Registrar's Office. Between ceremonies and receptions, guests can use the beach, Johnny's Beach Bar, the pool, the spa, the yoga classes and the gym, or take a private charter for surfing, snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding or sailing.

A resort on a mile of white sand
Long Bay Beach Resort rises from a 52-acre estate on the shore of Tortola, with a mile-long stretch of white sand in front of its buildings. The island is rich in history, and the resort's rambling main building recalls a plantation house. Guests can visit historic sites on Tortola such as the Windmill National Park, the Callwood Rum Distillery and the Old Government House.
A ceremony on the lawn or the beach
Ceremonies are held on the garden lawn, which seats up to 160 guests, or on the beachfront itself. The packages include a decorated location, a bridal bouquet, a boutonniere and a marriage officer, and the on-site coordinator helps the couple shape the day.
Dining in an 18th-century distillery
The 1748 Restaurant is housed in the original rum distillery on the beachfront, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Johnny's Beach Bar serves signature cocktails for the sunset and for evening nightcaps, with live music and an upstairs lounge, and the swim-up bar sits beside the pool.

Breathtaking views and hospitality!
We were lucky enough to stumble upon this place when planning our trip to Tortola. It went beyond our expectations! Just from the moment we got picked up from the airport, we felt like we were part of the Long Bay family. The food was incredible along with the drinks served by Kimberly and Max at Johnny’s Bar. The views were amazing and it was one of our most relaxing trips that we’ve been on. We also got to take a private charter through the hotel with Captain Tommy and thoroughly enjoyed our time and exploration of some of the surrounding islands. I would highly recommend anyone traveling here to ensure to stay at least a few nights here.
