Private Beaches
Private Beach, Petit St. Vincent, St. Vincent & the Grenadines
Kiss the modern world goodbye on this 113-acre private-island resort ringed by two miles of perfect white sand. The water here is not a single blue but rather a shimmering mosaic of pale turquoise and deep sapphire. And since it’s a private-island resort, beaches are quiet and empty — ideal for an intimate ceremony for two or with close family and friends. You must be in St. Vincent and the Grenadines for a full day after your arrival before applying in person for a marriage license on St. Vincent, located 40 miles away. Then you can pick whatever section of warm, unspoiled sand that strikes your fancy, kick off your shoes and exchange low-key I do’s.
Recommended Resort Petit St. Vincent Resort, the island’s 22-cottage property, comes without modern distractions like TVs and phones. Guests hoist yellow flags above their stone cottages for room service and act as contented castaways.
