It’s a house for friends to share or two families to spread the cost. An arc of terraces wrap a house of cool, cavernous rooms each with huge windows. At every compass point are the verdant British Virgin Islands, nature’s own playground of desert islands, tucked-away beaches and wrecks and reefs for diving, sailing and surfing.
In their midst is Peter Island, with modest marina rooms, beachside and spa villas and the house – Crow’s Nest – all bedrooms, butlers and Blofeld ambience. It is the only private island resort in the Caribbean that can accommodate honeymooners, young families and lotus eaters or lottery winners, be they on a budget or a bonanza.
