Peter Island

Peter Island is the fifth-largest of the British Virgin Islands and the largest privately-owned BVI island — entirely occupied by the Peter Island Resort, a single 100-guest property that holds five beaches and a 25-berth yacht harbour. Five sand beaches wrap around the south coast: Deadman's Bay (the iconic 800-metre crescent named for a 17th-century pirate incident), White Bay, Honeymoon Beach, Big Reef Bay, and Little Reef Bay. Charter yachts anchor in Great Harbour on the north side (the only public anchorage; resort beaches are accessible by tender). The island sits 4 kilometres south of Tortola, with the protected interior Sir Francis Drake Channel as the standard sail approach. Peter Island is 30 minutes from Tortola. Season runs year-round.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
