Description / Location

Petit St.Vincent (better known locally as PSV) lies 40 miles south of St.Vincent in the Grenadines. 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. 

PSV is a paradise of softly rolling hills spread over 113 acres, surrounded by two miles of white sand beaches.  PSV has been tamed just enough to allow for the presence of 22 discreet, simple, yet luxurious cottages. Lying well off the tourist mainstream, PSV could be best described by what is not there - there is no airport, no formal check in, no keys, no televisions, nor are there telephones in the cottages.

What there is, however, is privacy. Here, amid untouched nature and surrounded by warm, crystal-clear, turquoise water, one senses that the island is one’s own. This truly is the Caribbean you've dreamed of all your life.

Accommodations

The 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 as they may be, 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, lots of counter space, robes, fluffy towels and a medley of Molton Brown toiletries. The two daybeds in each living room can be made up to accommodate children.

In place of a telephone, in front of each cottage there is a small bamboo flagpole with a message box. Hoist the yellow flag and a member of the staff (numbering two for every guest) will come in his mini-moke and pick up your message. Room service, lunch on the beach, whatever you want. Hoist the red flag, and you absolutely will not be disturbed.

Restaurants & Bars

The truly hermitic guest need never meet another visitor. 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.

Activities

PSV's warm waters are perfect for snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, water skiing, and fishing. The island has steady breezes that are perfect for sailing, and the dock house offers Hobie Cats, Sunfish, windsurfers, glass bottom kayaks and ocean kayaks at no additional cost.           

Snorkeling
If you want to snorkel off the sandy shores, (exceptional opportunities are only a few yards from the beach) snorkeling equipment is available at the dock.

Hiking
A hike to the summit is not to be missed. The path winds through untouched tropical jungle and past banyan and rubber trees with local orchids nestling on the branches. At the top, the views of the surrounding islands and ocean are magnificent; there is a sense of utter tranquility.

Tennis
There is a lovely lighted tennis court surrounded by fragrant flowers and bushes, where guests can play during the cooler hours of the day.
