Petit St. Vincent, A Private Resort Island in the Grenadines

Petit St.Vincent (locally known as PSV) lies 40 miles south of St.Vincent in the Grenadines; a group of islands sprinkled across the most beautiful stretch of water in the Caribbean. Part of the Windward Island chain, the Grenadines drift southwesterly from St. Vincent, the largest of more than 30 islands that make up the nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. ( Some of the islands are Union Island, Carriacou, Petite Martinique, Palm Island, Bequia, Mustique, Tobago Cays, Martinque and Grenada)

Petit St. Vincent is a romantic paradise of softly rolling hills spread over 113 acres, surrounded by two miles of white sand beaches. PSV has 22 discreet and simple, yet luxurious cottages. Experience total privacy. Lying well off the tourist mainstream, PSV has no airport, no formal check in, no keys. There are no televisions or telephones in the cottages, just a simple flag system for communication with the attentive staff. It is the perfect Caribbean hideaway.

Here, amid untouched nature and surrounded by warm, crystal-clear, turquoise water, one senses that the island is one’s own. The truly hermitic guest can relish in total privacy. Room service is available for all meals, either in your own cottage or at any other location on the island. Most guests however, choose to make use of the resort’s beautiful bar and dining room for at least some of their meals.

The 22 cottages are sited to make the most of their immediate surroundings. Some are notched into the hills and bluffs to catch the breeze and savor the views, most are just steps from the beach. All the buildings are naturally air-conditioned with a combination of ceiling fans, louvered windows, cool terra cotta floors and the ocean breeze.

Remote and secluded, the cottages are beautifully appointed. Each cottage is built from native blue bitch stone which is quarried on the island, with peaked ceilings made of purpleheart hardwood, blending beautifully with the island’s terrain. Each cottage features a wooden sundeck, a living room, a bedroom, and one or two bathrooms and dressing rooms. The bathrooms have a shower, fluffy robes and towels and a medley of Molton Brown toiletries. The two daybeds in each living room can be made up to accommodate children.

Barbados is the major gateway for PSV. There are flights to Barbados from New York, Miami, Toronto, San Juan and London, with connections from other major cities in the U.S. and Europe. Arriving guests are then flown on to neighboring Union Island via Grenadines Airways.
