“This could be a country.”

That’s the thought you have surveying the natural wonders of Peter Island, a private island that feels even bigger than its nearly 1800 acres.

Five white-sand beaches, stunning cliffs, gardens — it’s a haul that would make some sovereign islands greener with envy.

And that’s precisely what makes it just such an impressive island — while the Caribbean is filled with private island resorts, there’s a feeling here that this is more than just a private resort — it’s a full-fledged destination in the heart of the British Virgin Islands.

Even if there were no resort here, it would be a sought-after, romantic, bucket-list kind of island.

Of course, there is a resort here: 18 ocean view rooms, 14 deluxe rooms, 20 beachfront suites and three remarkable villas, along with a wide-ranging culinary offering (led by the wine-focused Tradewinds restaurant).

And then there’s the spa.

It is, plainly, a beautiful thing, a 10,000-square-foot facility with its own infinity pool, an oceanside jacuzzi and a garden, the kind of spa where just entering is a treatment in itself.

It’s something that gets even better when you begin to learn about its green efforts – the windmills, the recycling, the reverse osmosis plant.

It all makes Peter Island a truly complete place, where nothing goes wanting. And that’s a very special thing.

That’s our kind of country.
