Peter Island, BVI

One big, private island, one small resort and one beautiful beach encapsulates the essence of Peter Island and Deadman’s Bay in the British Virgin Islands. Peter Island Resort is classic Caribbean. The 52-room hotel is the only resort on Peter Island, and its owner will not develop more acreage to insure the exclusivity and secret of the resort’s success. Guests find a romantic island with no crowds, noise, themed activities and very few children. What they do find are other couples who dance to live music at night by the pool and relax on the beach by day.

Part of the allure of the setting is its history. Directly to the southwest lies Norman Island, the basis for Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island." Just off Peter Island's glorious Deadman's Beach is Deadman's Island - where a marooning inspired the popular poem: "16 Men and a Deadman's Chest." These are Peter Island's neighbors, and that sense of escaping to an (almost) deserted island never leaves guests' minds.

Little Deadman's Bay, BVI

Deadman’s Bay is a mile-long, crescent-shaped beach with towering coconut palms that overlooks Dead Chest and Salt Islands. It’s part of Peter Island Beach Resort and thus, a private and secluded stretch of pristine beach for resort guests.

Peter Island Resort's largest and most spectacular beach boasts protected waters for excellent windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling, and other watersports. Little Deadman's Bay and Beach is an extension of its senior and is a preferred spot for world-class snorkeling.
