Petit Nevis Island

CARIBBEAN Petit Nevis Island

There are few places in the world which offer this rare combination of relaxed tempo, friendship, and color. Our island is one of them. Mango and papaya ripen all year round, the sea is turquoise, the tropical flowers are brilliant, and life is relatively simple. Our world is caressed by the trade winds and flavored with calypso and friendly inhabitants who value the important things in life.

Bequia is a beautiful, diverse little island, consisting of no more than seven square miles lying nine miles south of St Vincent, north of Mustique. It the northernmost and largest of the Grenadines, a string of islands that stretch for approximately 60 miles between the islands of St Vincent and Grenada in the Caribbean.
