Petit St Vincent is a 113 acres resort / operating business private island in Grenadines, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is offered for whole-island rental: Closed since Hurricane Beryl (2024) · reopening not announced. This is an editorial profile drawn from public record, clearly attributed, not our listing.

Summary

Petit St Vincent is a 113-acre resort island in the southern Grenadines that can be taken over entirely, its 22 stone cottages held by a single party for whole-island exclusivity from around USD 33,000 per night before tax. Individual cottages are also available seasonally from roughly USD 1,350 per night. The character is deliberately unplugged — cottages carry no televisions or telephones, and guests raise a flag for service. For a family office it offers a rare combination: a genuine full-resort buyout with two miles of beach, delivered in a low-key, barefoot register rather than a showy one.

Land & Waterfront

The island spreads across 115 acres with roughly two miles of beach and a varied coastline of coves and bluffs, set about forty miles south of St Vincent in the quiet southern Grenadines. Waters suit snorkelling, sailing, windsurfing and kayaking, and a dive facility supports exploration of the surrounding reefs. Cottages are spaced generously across the terrain to preserve privacy, with wooden sun decks opening to the sea. The setting is classic Grenadines — warm, sheltered water and abundant shoreline for a group to disperse across.

Access & Utilities

Access runs through Barbados to Union Island, then by boat or seaplane to the resort, keeping the island comfortably remote. Utilities follow the island-resort pattern; power, water and communications are not published, and the cottages' lack of TVs and phones is a design choice rather than a limitation. A dock and marina handle arrivals and watercraft, and a full resident team runs the property. The practical read is a self-contained resort island reached by a short final transfer, geared to disconnection.

Ownership & Use

Petit St Vincent is available for rental only, with no ownership stake. The distinctive option is a whole-island buyout of all 22 cottages for a single group — comfortably accommodating a large multi-family party — alongside conventional per-cottage stays. Service is full-resort standard, spanning dining, spa, tennis and a dive centre, delivered in an intentionally understated style. The buyout price sits well below the ultra-flagships while still conveying an entire operating resort, making it a strong fit for a group that wants exclusivity and space without maximal expenditure or spectacle.

Provenance

Bought uninhabited in 1963 by Haze Richardson, Doug Terman and H.W. Nichols Jr., who built the 22-cottage resort (opened December 1968). Richardson became owner on Nichols' 1985 death and ran it until his own death in 2008; the resort passed to Freedom Resorts Ltd (Phil Stephenson) in 2010 and then to designer/entrepreneur Tanja Ellis in 2019. Closed for rebuilding since Hurricane Beryl devastated it in July 2024.
