Peter Island Resort

Peter Island Resort occupies the only developed resort on Peter Island, a 1,800-acre private island in the British Virgin Islands. The scale gives the property an unusual sense of space, with beaches, hills and protected coves separating different parts of the experience.

Following a major reimagining, the resort now offers 52 guestrooms across beachfront rooms, junior suites and villas. Many accommodations sit directly along Deadman’s Beach, while larger residences such as Hawk’s Nest and Falcon’s Nest move higher into the landscape for greater privacy and views.

The island’s five white-sand beaches allow guests to shift between busier and more secluded settings without leaving the property. Watersports, hiking, boating and the Peter Island Yacht Club make the resort especially appealing to travelers who want an active Caribbean stay rather than only pool time.

A new 10,000-square-foot spa includes seven treatment rooms, an infinity pool, an oceanside hot tub and extensive wellness facilities. Dining ranges from the polished Drake Steakhouse to the more casual Drunken Pelican at the yacht club, with private beach meals available as well.

Peter Island is strongest for travelers who equate luxury with space and seclusion. Its private-island geography, redesigned accommodations and broad range of on-island activities make it feel more complete than a small boutique beach hotel while remaining deeply connected to the landscape.
