Peter Island Resort, the largest private island resort in the British Virgin Islands, will officially open on December 1. Since its closure in 2017, the resort has undergone a reimagining that has transformed the property to a new level of luxury.
In addition to relocating the heart of the resort to the island’s spectacular stretch of Deadman’s Beach, guests of the new Peter Island resort will find new beachfront rooms and suites, two redesigned villas, an extensive Yacht Club, two restaurants, a 10,000 square foot seaside spa, and an expanded events and meetings area. Throughout this transformation, priority was placed on preserving the 52-room resort’s intimate, casual elegance, warm Caribbean hospitality, and hundreds of acres of unspoiled tropical island.
“We’re pleased to announce our official opening date of December 1, 2024, for the unveiling of a new Peter Island and are excited to introduce guests to an exquisitely reimagined resort with the same beauty and charm that has enchanted visitors for decades,” said David Van Andel, President, Peter Island Resort.
When the resort opens, land-loving and seafaring guests will discover various ways to enjoy Peter Island. This includes the island’s many natural wonders, including five idyllic beaches, the scenic sunset loop showcasing panoramic views of the Virgin Islands, and inviting blue-green seas ideal for watersports, swimming, sailing, fishing, and snorkeling.
What was once Sprat Bay Marina is now the enhanced, expanded Peter Island Yacht Club. Reconfigured to better accommodate vessels of different shapes and sizes, including multiple superyachts of up to 200 feet, seafaring guests will be welcomed ashore to a variety of new offerings to enjoy, including a Yacht Club swimming pool, a recreational area featuring lawn games and pickleball, bocce ball and basketball courts, Drunken Pelican bar and grill, Sea Chest Boutique and a commissary.
Gourmands will delight in elegant, beachfront fine dining at The Drake Steakhouse, showcasing a top-quality surf and turf cuisine menu and an impressive wine collection. For a casually chic dining option, there’s the Yacht Club’s Drunken Pelican, a restaurant and bar serving inventive dishes, artfully crafted cocktails, and a selection of wines and craft beers.
Next to the Yacht Club is the expanded events and meetings area for groups of up to 180 people. The new oceanfront 3,000-square-foot Conference Center is flanked by two event lawns and a large, open-air veranda. This new meeting and event facility has a dedicated on-site kitchen, flexible indoor spaces, and scenic outdoor areas ideal for events, weddings, receptions, meetings, and break-out sessions.
Nestled along hypnotic Big Reef Bay, The Spa is the resort’s tranquil seaside retreat offering all things beauty and wellness with seven treatment rooms, a fitness center, a yoga and meditation sanctuary, a manicure/pedicure salon, an outdoor pool, and an ocean-front hot tub. There will be highly personalized treatments using products from luxury beauty brand Skin111, Farmhouse Fresh’s organic ‘Farm-to-Healing’ product line, and freshly harvested island ingredients.
