Peter Island Resort - Jost Van Dyke, BVI

The largest private island in the BVI, Peter Island is surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Sir Francis Drake Channel. Just four miles south of Tortola, it occupies the fifth largest of 60 islands, quays, and exposed reefs that comprise the BVI. Accessible only by boat or helicopter, Peter Island's idyllic location makes it a perfect destination for guests seeking a serene and romantic hideaway. A member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Peter Island was highlighted in CondeNast Traveler's January 2003 "Gold List" issue as one of the world's best places to stay.

Peter Island has just 52 guestrooms and four villas, including two Villa Estates. The predominance of open, undeveloped land is unsurpassed, creating an atmosphere of natural beauty unique to Peter Island. The staff to guest ratio is 177 to 104 in the high season, ensuring a high level of service and individual attention. All water sports equipment and instruction are complimentary at Peter Island, as is use of the four tennis courts, fitness center, basketball and volleyball courts, and bicycles. The island features miles of hiking and biking trails on which to discover the remarkable variety of tropical flora and fauna indigenous to Peter Island.
