Petit St. Vincent
A private island resort in the Grenadines.
Petit St. Vincent is not owned by a resort chain. It is the personal creation of the late Haze Richardson, who lived on the island with his wife Lynn and their four yellow labs.
Overview
Petit St.Vincent is Lynn Richardson’s own home which she shares with guests who return again and again.
PSV is a paradise of softly rolling hills spread over 113 acres surrounded by two miles of white sand beaches, PSV has been tamed just enough to allow for the presence of 22 discreet and simple, yet luxurious cottages. Lying well off the tourist mainstream, PSV could be best described by what is not there. There is no airport, no formal check in, no keys. There are no televisions nor are there telephones in the cottages.
The cottages are sited to make the most of their immediate surroundings. Some are notched into the hills and bluffs to catch the breeze and savour the views, most are just steps from the beach.
Petit St.Vincent (better known locally as PSV) lies 40 miles south of St.Vincent in the Grenadines flight to Barbados, then a local flight to Union Island to be met by a motor launch to escort you to Petit St Vincent.
Accommodation
The cottages are sited to make the most of their immediate surroundings. Some are notched into the hills and bluffs to catch the breeze and savour the views, most are just steps from the beach. All the buildings are naturally air-conditioned with a combination of ceiling fans, louvered windows, cool terra cotta floors and the ocean breeze.
Remote and secluded as they may be, the cottages are beautifully appointed. Each cottage is built from native blue bitch stone which is quarried on the island and features a wooden sundeck, a living room, a bedroom, and one or two bathrooms and dressing rooms. The bathrooms have a shower, lots of counter space, robes, fluffy towels and a medley of Molton Brown toiletries. The two daybeds in each living room can be made up to accommodate children.
Facilities
Room service is available for all meals, either in your own cottage or at any other location on the island.
In place of a telephone, in front of each cottage there is a small bamboo flagpole with a message box. Hoist the yellow flag and a member of the staff (numbering two for every guest) will come in his mini moke and pick up your message. Room service, lunch on the beach, whatever you want. Hoist the red flag, and you absolutely will not be disturbed.
Restaurants & Bars
Although room service is available for all meals during your stay, most guests choose to make use of the resort’s beautiful bar and dining room for at least some of their meals.
The cuisine is continental, featuring fresh local seafood and superb meats from our Boston butcher. Our Chef Trevor delights in regularly expanding the menu.
