Petit St. Vincent

feel like the billionaire you will become at this eco-inspired paradise of authenticity on its own tranquil private island...

Our Review

We’ve all dreamed about vacationing on our own private island, of revelling in the total peace and serenity of a paradise seemingly built just for you. Aside from being an eccentric billionaire and buying your own island to plant a flag you yourself designed, or being shipwrecked and washing ashore a deserted island that naturally becomes your nation due to no one around to say it isn’t, your best bet is to stay at the private island resort of Petit St. Vincent. Tucked away in the tropical Grenadine islands of St. Vincent, the “little” version is 115 acres of genuine seclusion. Framed by two miles of brilliant white sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs, Petit St. Vincent is an elegant but unpretentious boutique resort where you’re encouraged to disconnect from the modern world - and reconnect with nature.

The chic yet ecologically sustainable Caribbean hideaway of Petit St. Vincent is luxurious living with opulent amenities, understated yet attentive service, and only 22 guest cottages. If the asterisk on your idea of a dream vacation includes the phrase “must have WiFi”, we offer many amazing resorts where you can stay in touch with the outside world from poolside. But some of us seek something different: a return to the authentic, where unwanted distractions are nowhere to be found... a place where we engage with each other and the environment... a place where we’re encouraged to relax completely and unwind into a state of liberated bliss. If this someone is you, if your ultimate vacation includes an immersion in nature from the comfort of a luxurious driftwood-furnished villa where the texting and emails get put on a hold for a week full of wonder, then Petit St. Vincent was made with you in mind. Because not everybody is a castaway or a playboy billionaire.

The guest cottages are simply divine, your own private hideaway on your own private island. Each are beautifully designed and decorated in native stone and wood, marine shades that reflect the natural kingdom, and well-thought-out feng shui that help create the very tangible feeling of harmony. Positive vibes abound. Hidden amongst the hills, cliffs, and beaches of this pristine wilderness, the freshly renovated cottages and villas radiate the familiar sense of home. Here, you feel less a tourist at a resort and more a welcome guest at your eccentric playboy billionaire friend’s private island. An island that while encouraging you to make your own rules, has banished all TV, phones, and internet in favour of soothing organic soundscapes and the peace that comes from the eternal present moment. But don’t worry, the villas still have power and necessary creature comforts like minibars, iPod docks, and air-conditioning. And out on the sprawling patio you’ll lounge in a hammock, refreshed by the trade winds, and celebrate life with a raucous dinner party in the open air pavilion, overlooking the beach and the turquoise sea.

And when it comes to the menu for your dinner party, a mouthwatering culinary experience awaits you and your friends. There are several outstanding restaurants, offering fresh and creative dishes under thatched roofs with your feet in the sand or perched on decks above the ocean. Lay back on the couches surrounding the fire pits, right on the beach, and enjoy barbecued seafare. Pack a picnic on your hike around the island to find the perfect romantic spot. Or hoist the flag outside your villa to signal the butler who will pull up in a cute lil’ Mini-Moke car to grab your order, whether it be a room service feast, late night cocktails, or a simple lift to the Hillside Spa.

Your private island vacation won’t be complete without a visit to the spa, where you’ll enjoy a score of blissful treatments in one of the open-air rooms or meditate in total peace and transpose yourself into another realm. Immerse yourself further in the natural rhythms of the islands at the yoga pavillion. Explore the warm seas with non-motorized water equipment, go swimming or scuba diving, jog around the island or play a game of tennis at the lighted court. You can even set sail on a private chartered sloop and visit the uninhabited islands nearby. Here in the tropical paradise of Petit St. Vincent, the choice is yours to make. Come experience life at its most pure and authentic.
