Petit St. Vincent resort

Location: Nestled in the southern Grenadines, Petit St Vincent is a 115-acre private island resort offering an exclusive and serene escape. Accessible by a short boat ride from Union Island, this tropical paradise is surrounded by turquoise waters, unspoiled sugar-white sand beaches, and tropical greenery. The rich flora and breath taking views of the Caribbean Sea make it an ideal destination for both relaxation and adventure. In addition, Petit St Vincent features a state-of-the-art reverse osmosis desalination plant, providing safe, fresh water, and a comprehensive recycling program that transforms glass and metal into useful materials.

Rooms: Petit St Vincent features 22 luxurious one- and two-bedroom cottages, thoughtfully spread across the island to offer unparalleled privacy and breath taking views. Each villa is uniquely designed with open-air living spaces, elegant furnishings, and natural stone and wood accents. With no televisions or Wi-Fi in the accommodations, guests can truly disconnect and immerse themselves in the tranquillity of island life. A farm-to-fork philosophy enhances the dining experience, with fruits, vegetables, and herbs sourced from the resort's organic chef garden, while eggs come fresh from over 400 free-range chickens raised on the island.

Amenities: The resort boasts an impressive array of amenities, including a full-service spa perched on a hillside, offering rejuvenating treatments with stunning ocean views. Guests can savour gourmet cuisine at two beachfront restaurants, where locally sourced seafood and Caribbean flavours are highlighted. Enjoy weekly beach barbecues with marinated pork ribs, Black Angus steaks, and freshly grilled lobster while local West Indian steel pan music plays. Additional conveniences include a beachfront yoga pavilion, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a well-stocked wine cellar. Guests can also indulge in private island picnics or enjoy intimate meals on secluded atolls.

Activities: From sailing and paddle boarding to diving and snorkelling at vibrant reefs, Petit St Vincent provides an abundance of water-based activities. Explore the calm turquoise waters by kayak, search for sea turtles and elegant eagle rays, or master the art of windsurfing. Snorkelers can discover the natural reefs and visit the resort's coral garden, which is part of an ongoing coral restoration project in collaboration with CLEAR Caribbean. Kite surfing enthusiasts can take advantage of steady offshore breezes or learn the sport at nearby Ashton Lagoon, one of the Caribbean’s top spots. For fishing enthusiasts, deep-sea expeditions offer the chance to catch mahi mahi, barracuda, and more, which chefs can prepare for dinner. Guided nature walks, island-hopping adventures, and private beach picnics add to the unforgettable experiences.

Sustainability: Petit St Vincent is committed to environmental stewardship and the well-being of its community. The resort employs sustainable practices, such as using solar energy and energy-efficient diesel generators to power the island and utilizing organic gardening to supply fresh ingredients. Coral reef restoration initiatives, in partnership with the Philip Stephenson Foundation and CLEAR Caribbean, help regenerate local marine life. The resort’s scholarship fund supports the education of employees’ children, and reef conservation efforts continue to protect marine biodiversity. These initiatives aim to preserve the island's natural beauty for future generations while providing guests with an unforgettable experience in harmony with nature.
