Hawk's nest at peter island
The largest private island in the BVI, Peter Island is located four miles south of Tortola and 25-minutes - aboard the resort's private launch - from its international airport, Beef Island. 1,200 acres in area, it has a hilly topography laced with hiking and biking trails, lush vegetation, and five swathes of soft, white sand lined with coconut trees. Amid this natural beauty sits a 52-room luxurious resort with every possible amenity and comfort, including Tradewinds, an award-wining restaurant with dramatic views. Its complementary sporting facilities range from a fresh-water swimming pool to four tennis courts and a comprehensive water-sports center. There are island excursions for exploring and shopping. The Spa at Peter Island, overlooking Big Reef Bay, provides extensive treatments and services by a professional staff.

Hawk's Nest has been designed in the Caribbean-villa style with high roofs and broad expanses of window giving the villa a casual, light, and airy interior. Continuous balconies also make the most of the hillside location and its breathtaking views over Deadman's Bay and the yachts anchored in the harbor 150 feet below. Away from the sea, the back windows offer a contrasting view, looking through the woods and along the flank of the mountain. The bedrooms have a view of the harbor. The villa’s spacious interior provides everything necessary for luxurious island living, from its media annex and "inspirational" furniture to its Kendal-designed dining area and fully appointed kitchen. Leading off the main living area, three bedroom suites each come with large bathrooms with separate shower and two person Jacuzzi soaking tub. And no less attention has been focused on the flowering-garden outdoor area with its pool and all-day sun. Meals are included and may be enjoyed in the villa or at the resort's restaurants.
