Peter Island Resort, set on a 1,200 private island in the British Virgin Islands, is a romantic vacation getaway with only 52 rooms and two luxury villas offering privacy and seclusion to all hotel guests.

The island, covered with tropical vegetation, is surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Sir Francis Drake Channel. Located four miles south of Tortola, Peter Island is accessible only by boat or helicopter.

Beach lovers should know that Peter Island offers five private beaches: Deadman’s Bay, Little Deadman’s Bay, Big Reef Bay, White Bay and Honeymoon beach. The best snorkeling spot is White Bay, while Big Reef Bay is ideal for romantic sunset walks. The resort also features a freshwater swimming pool.

The resort offers a number of water sports, including snorkeling, wind surfing, sailing and kayaking. The island has scenic hiking and biking trails, four tennis courts, a beachfront fitness center and freshwater pool.

Additional off-shore activities can be arranged by the hotel, such as deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, golfing on St. Thomas or a day trip to The Baths, Virgin Gorda.

The 32 Ocean View Rooms are housed in two-story poolside cottages. The 20 Beach Front Junior Suites each feature a comfortable sitting area, large Spanish tiled bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, and a private terrace with spectacular views of Deadman’s Bay Beach.

Hawk’s Nest Villa offers two spacious bedrooms, each with their own bath, a living room, kitchen and private sundeck. Crow’s Nest Villa, perched on top of a hill overlooking the Caribbean sea, has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a wrap-around terrace and a private pool. The villa is equipped with its own staff: a steward, maid, gardener and chef. Crow’s Nest Villa guests also have exclusive use of an island rover.

Tradewinds restaurant serves West Indian dishes and Continental classics with an emphasis on fresh seafood and other produce available on the island. The restaurant, featuring large windows, overlooks Drake Channel.

Deadman’s Beach Bar & Grill serves more casual dishes just steps from the beach. Guests dine surrounded by palms and seagrape trees.

Drake’s Channel Lounge is a bar with a shaded sitting area that serves a variety of tropical drinks.

For those wanting to spend a full day on the beach, the hotel staff can deliver a gourmet picnic basket directly to the beach.
