A true private island escapism

Undiscovered, unspoilt, unplugged and unbelievably beautiful, the tiny island of Petit St Vincent is a destination dreams are made of. Situated in a naturally sheltered spot on the southernmost tip of the Grenadines, it is home to just 22 cottages and villas that take barefoot luxury and pure relaxation to a whole new level. If you’re looking for plunge pools, glamorous nightlife and flat screen TVs this probably isn’t the place for you. If warm, turquoise seas teeming with marine life, palm-fringed beaches, incredible food and wine and the sound of waves gently lapping against pristine shores are your kind of thing, then this is paradise found. Experience time without television and many modern technologies to really feel you have escaped from the rest of the world. Explore the colourful corals of nearby Tobago Cays; enjoy private dinner for two under a thousand stars; stretch out with morning yoga and abandon yourself to the treetop spa. This is the place to restore, re-energise and reconnect with life’s simplest pleasures.

Peaceful beauty and a friendly atmosphere

Ankeny, Iowa

Stayed in cottage 19. Would highly recommend this address. Totally private but close proximity to dive center. Purpose of trip was diving. We were not disappointed. The dive staff at the Michel Cousteau dive center were wonderful. Dan and Sabine were excellent guides. Sabine showed me my first, very good size, seahorse!!! The cottage was beautiful - three huge rooms with floor to ceiling windows in living room. From our table on patio we could see the bay. From our private beach we could snorkel. Food was amazing. I swear I ate lobster every day. Meals on the beach and the beach bar allowed for great sunset views. Staff at resort were the most helpful and polite I have come across in quite some time. Well done you!!!

Private splendor

Princeton, New Jersey

It is not a quick trip to PSV but well worth the effort if you are looking for a quiet private escape. With one and two bedroom cottages, everyone has their own space. There does not appear to be a "bad" unit. The staff is wonderful. Everyone has a smile and is there to help you. The flag system is part of the charm. Raise a red flag for do not disturb or raise the yellow for...breakfast? a ride? more towels (although they give you plenty) any need. There is a spa which was lovely. a fitness trail, plenty of water toys, etc. The food was very good. There are two dining options, one on the beach for guests and visitors from the yachts and the lodge for guests only. We loved it and will return!

Fantastic week vacation on Petit St. Vincent

Alexandria, Virginia

I am writing this review to help people who aren't sure what to expect from staying on a private island like PSV. Hopefully sharing what I learned can help people decide if it's for them and/or how to plan for their trip. The bottom line is that PSV was phenomenal, the staff could not have been more helpful and gracious, and we had a terrific time there on our vacation. Some quick notes, finding the weather forecast for PSV is difficult, but Barbadosweather.org had radar that covered the area and seemed to be the best predictor. I found one site that forecast it would rain the entire time we were there but it was very wrong, it rained most days for less than 30 minutes, and just helped to cool things off. Electrical outlets are US 110V. I used the scuba dive center there, and Dan, Sabine, and Gillan (apologies if i'm spelling names wrong!) were fantastic teachers and every bit as interested in the natural surroundings as I was. Would highly recommend it if you are interested in exploring underwater. I snorkeled several spots around the island as well. My favorite two were nearest the beach bar and off the beaches on the west side of the island. The only bad one was off the beach nearest the yoga pavilion, which might be the prettiest spot on the island in my opinion but is not clear enough and too wavy to lead to safe swimming (at least while i was there). The coral is being rehabilitated and you can see some great areas and some dead areas, but there are a lot of fish and lobsters around, and even the occasional eel if you look closely enough. I learned to sail one of the hobie cats they have for use, the teacher was great and took me around the island and then i was allowed to go on my own. I was going to sail to Mopion Island but the weather prevented us from making it all the way there. We asked the staff to take us via motorboat instead for about an hour, and it was well worth it for the uniqueness and some stunning pictures. There were quite a few times where visiting yachts were on Mopion island as well during the week, so if you want it to yourself just keep a lookout for when it is vacant (you can see it pretty easily from the western side of PSV). Hiking up Marni hill was fun and not too challenging (just a little slippery after a rain). The best views are actually close to the beginning if you don't want to go all the way to the top. Very pretty around sunset. The staff played soccer a couple of times while i was there and it was fun to join. They play barefoot so no need to bring cleats, and seemed to be happy to have me join in the informal game. My partner visited the spa a couple of times and enjoyed it. It is partway up the hill where there are some great views into the channel between islands. The food was unexpectedly great, both at the beach bar and the sit down restaurant. We had our breakfasts delivered to the cottage and typically did lunch at the beach and dinner at the restaurant. Pretty much everything we tried was good and we ate a good deal. Don't be afraid to try a bunch of different items, even things like the cheeseburger are surprisingly good. We had a beach cottage located close to the pier on the north side of the island. The view was spectacular and the sound of the waves was soothing at night. The cottage itself is spacious and comfortable. There is a small refrigerator that is kept stocked with drinks and an ice chest for ice. The bathroom is large, but not especially private if that's something that's important to you (there is only a curtain and the walls do not go all the way up to the roof). The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space for suitcases and other items to spread out. Other than that I would recommend the ginger tea in the afternoon, bringing something to change into on your way over (we did not get our checked luggage until the morning after we arrived) and to explore the island as much as you can. It was an incredible experience and I couldn't thank the staff at PSV enough for making our time there so wonderful.

Facilities

Jean-Michel Cousteau Dive Centre

Explore the underwater world of Petit St Vincent and the surrounding areas such as the Tobago Cays at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Dive Center. Opened in 2014 after extensive exploration of the reefs in the area, the goal is to educate and help people appreciate the importance of these coral reefs so they stay protected for future generations.

Hillside Spa

Whether you are looking for a beauty treatment or a full-body massage the team of very experienced Balinese therapists provide a wide range of treatments with you in mind. The Hillside Spa is in an elevated position on the island allowing panoramic views, including four treatment rooms with tropical foliage and ocean views.

Beach wait and room service

Boasting a digital detox across the resort, one thing that isn't compromised is service. For room service, island transportation or if you want to be left alone for an afternoon snooze, Petit St Vincent's flagpole system is a simple yet effective way to communicate with the staff. If you require service, raise the yellow flag - if you wish to be left alone raise the red flag.

Island Buy-out

If you have a special occasion coming up like a wedding or milestone birthday or anniversary, Petit St Vincent allows you to do an island buy-out so you have the entire resort just for you and your cloest friends and family.

Enjoy a beach wedding knowing you won't have any unwanted spectators on the beach and have the resort's attentive staff on call just for you and your party. Please call one of our destination specialists for more details.

Watersports

Non-motorised watersports such as kayaking, Hobie Cats and windsurfing are complimentary at the water sports centre. Go deep sea fishing either early morning or late afternoon and try your luck at catching your supper.
