After more than seven years in hiatus following the destruction caused by Hurricane Irma, Peter Island Resort in the British Virgin Islands is making waves with its recent reopening. The resort, which has long been a crown jewel among Caribbean retreats, has now joined the illustrious Legend Collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. This affiliation signals a new era for the resort, which has undergone significant enhancements aimed at elevating its stature in luxury hospitality, as articulated by its president, David Van Andel.
The rejuvenated Peter Island Resort, which became operational once again on December 1, 2023, showcases a meticulously planned redesign located strategically along Deadman’s Beach, renowned for its tranquil beauty. This transformation includes 52 beautifully appointed accommodations, ranging from beachfront rooms and suites to exclusive villas such as the breathtaking Falcon’s Nest Villa. Perched on a mountain peak, this unique accommodation offers guests magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding Virgin Islands—a hallmark of opulence that distinguishes this resort from others in the region.
Additionally, the resort introduces a variety of amenities that cater to a sophisticated clientele. A striking new infinity pool invites guests to bask in the sun while absorbing stunning sea vistas. The 10,000-square-foot seaside spa, with its seven treatment rooms and fitness center, promises a holistic escape, complemented by a serene saltwater pool. For those who need a versatile meeting space, a newly built 3,000-square-foot conference center meets modern business needs while enveloped in the calming ambiance of the island.
Dining options at the resort reflect its Caribbean roots and commitment to quality, featuring establishments like the Drake Steakhouse, which blends local flavors with gourmet steak selections. The Yacht Club’s Drunken Pelican serves as a laid-back venue for those looking to unwind with craft cocktails, ensuring that all guest preferences are catered for. The culinary offerings are designed not just to satiate appetites but to celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of the British Virgin Islands.
Beyond luxurious accommodations and gourmet dining, Peter Island’s transformation includes significant upgrades to its marina facilities. Now operating as the Peter Island Yacht Club, the full-service marina can accommodate superyachts up to 200 feet in length, offering a hub for maritime enthusiasts and a new level of service and convenience for seafaring guests.
As a member of the Legend Collection, Peter Island Resort is positioned among the elite in the industry, which emphasizes unparalleled service alongside luxury. Guests can also enjoy membership in the I Prefer Hotel Rewards program, enhancing their stay with perks that encourage repeated visits. This approach aligns seamlessly with Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ broader strategy of establishing an extensive network of high-caliber luxury accommodations, which includes brands like Beyond Green and Historic Hotels Worldwide.
As Peter Island Resort embarks on this new journey, it stands ready to welcome guests seeking a mix of adventure, relaxation, and luxury, making it a premier destination in the BVI’s stunning archipelago.
