Amid this natural beauty sits a 52-room luxurious resort with every possible amenity and comfort, including Tradewinds, an award-wining restaurant with dramatic views. Its complementary sporting facilities range from a fresh-water swimming pool to four tennis courts and a comprehensive water-sports center. There are island excursions for exploring and shopping. The Spa at Peter Island, overlooking Big Reef Bay, provides extensive treatments and services by a professional staff.

For today's traveling elite, it has always been the impossible dream - to have the privacy, intimacy and comfort of a self-contained luxury villa (preferably on a private island) and, at the same time, all the facilities of a leading resort. That dream becomes a reality with Peter Island's four extraordinary villas in the Caribbean.

The recipe: idyllic locations with breathtaking views, a choice of architectural styles and villa sizes, complete privacy, and the finest furnishing have given these villas all the intimacy and elegance of ultra-exclusive island homes. Every possible need has been anticipated, from a villa director (who will customize your stay in advance of your arrival), to European chefs, personal villa staffs, a SUV, and even a private helicopter pad for easy access.
