Little Dix is another of the trio of low-key resorts created by the
late Laurance Rockefeller back in the '60s and '70s, oases that set the
standard for service, serenity and settings - in this case a ravishing

Hotel, the resort still welcomes its guests to a virtual botanical
garden boasting 50 varieties of palms. But a glance around reveals that
once-virgin hillsides now sprout villas; there's a new grotto-like pool

Bali-style spa sits up on the bluff. Once off-limits to children,
Little Dix now has a kids' clubhouse so subtly integrated into the
operation that even old-timers take families in stride.
