Little Dix promotes staff – new managing director

Rosewood Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda today announced the appointment of a new managing director months before the anticipated reopening of the property in December this year, following a complete renovation.

In his new position, Andreas Pade will play an integral role in the reopening of the resort, and will be responsible for re-establishing Rosewood Little Dix Bay as “the leading” resort in the Caribbean.

Rosewood Hotels and Resorts manages 19 luxury properties in 11 countries.

Radha Arora, president of the establishment, said: “As a longtime member of the Rosewood family, Andreas has demonstrated a deep understanding of Rosewood Little Dix Bay and an immense passion for the resort’s rich history and the culture of the British Virgin Islands.”

“We are delighted to have him at the helm of the resort’s reopening, and are excited to see how the property continues to evolve under his direction,” the president further said.

Pade is said to be an accomplished and respected international hotelier, who brings nearly 18 years of experience in the luxury hospitality industry to his new position.

Most recently, he served as the resort manager for Rosewood Little Dix Bay, where he “has been essential in overseeing the renovation process and preparing the resort for its reopening”.

Rosewood Little Dix Bay is undergoing an 18-month renovation, which the management said will include the “complete refresh of the resort’s guestrooms and suites and its three restaurants”.

In relation to the new managing director, the resort further said: “Pade has worked with Rosewood Hotels and Resorts for the past five years, during which time he served as the resort manager at the former Caneel Bay, [and as] a Rosewood Resort and hotel manager at Rosewood Baha Mar, where he oversaw the resort’s pre-opening. Prior to joining Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, Pade served as the general manager for the Cotton House on Mustique Island, and was executive assistant manager at both the Kulm Hotel in St Moritz and Grace Bay Club in Turks and Caicos.”
