Petit Saint Vincent is a small private island and resort in the Grenadines, administratively within Grenadines Parish, known for its secluded beaches and low-density villa accommodation.
The island has been privately owned and operated as an exclusive resort for several decades, catering to guests seeking privacy and a Caribbean island experience away from larger tourist centers.
Petit Saint Vincent lies in the southern Grenadines chain off the coast of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and is reached by boat or small charter flights from nearby islands and Saint Vincent.
- Access: As a privately owned island resort, access is by scheduled boat or private charter from nearby islands and the main islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
- Accommodation style: The island operates as a small, low-density resort with villas and cottages rather than large hotel blocks, offering a secluded private-island experience.
How to Get to Petit Saint Vincent #
Most visitors reach Petit Saint Vincent (a private island in the Grenadines) by first flying into either Argyle International Airport on St. Vincent (SVD) or into Union Island (airstrip code UNI/VCI) via regional carriers. From Union Island’s main town of Clifton you take a pre-booked boat transfer to Petit Saint Vincent; the speedboat ride from Clifton is typically a short crossing (commonly reported around 20-45 minutes) and is arranged by the island’s resort or local boat operators. If you arrive into St. Vincent you can transfer onward by a short local flight to Union Island or by inter-island ferry/charter to Clifton, then the boat to Petit Saint Vincent.
Tips for Visiting Petit Saint Vincent #
- Arrange transfers and all logistics through the Petit St Vincent resort well in advance-PSV is a private island resort with no public ferry service, so your arrival will be by pre-booked boat from Union Island or the resort's scheduled transfer.
- Travel in the dry season (December-May) for calmer seas and better snorkelling visibility, and ask the resort about quieter snorkel sites around the island rather than the main house reef at peak times.
- If you want privacy, inquire about whole-villa or exclusive-use booking windows-the island's small size means visitor numbers are intentionally limited and booking ahead is the only reliable way to avoid overlapping groups.
Best Time to Visit Petit Saint Vincent #
Visit during the dry season (December-May) for the most reliable beach weather and calm sea conditions.
