Peter Island Island

Peter Island is a privately owned island in the British Virgin Islands, known for its resort and sandy bays. It is one of the privately operated islands in the territory and is oriented toward leisure and marine tourism.

The island offers sheltered beaches, short coastal hiking trails and mooring or marina facilities for small craft. Multiple bays provide swimming and snorkeling access directly from shore or via short boat trips.

The island has been developed for resort accommodation and guest services; ownership and facilities have changed over time as a private hospitality property. No major public infrastructure is present beyond resort and marine facilities.

Peter Island lies within the British Virgin Islands archipelago in the Caribbean Sea, among the islands southeast of Tortola. Visitors normally reach it by private boat or water transfer from neighbouring inhabited islands.

• Access and use: Operates primarily as a private island resort with marine access by boat and private yachts.

Most visitors arrive by private boat or charter from Tortola (Road Town) or nearby islands. Some charter companies and private yachts include Peter Island on their BVI island-hopping routes; check with local skippers for mooring options.

• Access is usually through charter boats from Tortola - Road Town is the common departure point; ask for a skipper who knows the island's moorings.
• If hoping to use the resort facilities, confirm availability ahead of time - the island's visitor access is tightly linked to the private resort's operations.
• Pack reef shoes and a mask; the bays around Peter Island reward snorkeling with coral gardens close to shore.
