Peter Island Resort on Peter Island in the BVI

Guest Rooms:
Of the two types of suites that stretch across this private island, the 20 beachfront accommodations are recommended. Each occupies the ground or upper floor of a cottage, with enough space, furniture, and storage to spread out for a week.

Their look is a simple, blue-accented nautical style; suites are not over-the-top posh. They comprise a spacious living room with a sleeping area, large bathroom, and fridge.

A good-sized deck overlooks gorgeous Deadman’s Bay Beach. Big bathrooms contain double sinks, a stone-tiled shower, many bath balms, and a glass-walled whirlpool tub permitting beach glimpses. Beyond each beachfront room is a back lawn, pretty boardwalk, and then the sparkling Caribbean.

Oceanview rooms look like Beachfront digs, but with less modern bathrooms. Close to the resort’s main restaurant and other facilities, they are less private.

Guest Villas:
These are ideal for honeymooners with big budgets or married couples with kids in tow. The four-bedroom Hawk’s Nest Villa and three-bedroom Crow’s Nest Villa are island mansions presenting every imaginable luxury and amenity.

We’re talking decks, patios, bars, party spaces, dipping and swimming pools, palatial bathrooms, chef’s kitchen, major dining room, entertainment system, multiple entrances, a butler and villa manager on call, and more.

The compound-like Falcon’s Nest Villa, open in 2007, promises super-swell accommodations for entire wedding parties and family reunions.
