Known simply as PSV, this private island resort five miles from Union Island is encircled by two miles of velvety white sand studded by thatch-roof palapas. Just 22 stone cottages are tucked into the hilly landscape, each with its own sun deck and living room, and guests summon staff or request privacy by hoisting a red or yellow pennant from a bamboo flagpole. Patrons pass their days swimming, snorkeling or hiking to the summit of the island’s volcanic cone, and at night there’s little to distract from the panoply of stars that illuminates the sky.
Where to Stay & Eat
Rates are steep, but Petit St. Vincent is worth every penny. Not all rooms are beachfront, but those off the sand are a quick walk off the shore and offer the most privacy. From $675 in low season ($860 high), including meals; closed September and October. 800-654-9326; psvresort.com
