It’s a rather unique system. 

If you need something at Petit St Vincent, you walk out your door and raise a flag on your cottage’s flagpole.

Suddenly, any request is filled; room service; transportation; the sudden need for a cocktail. 

It’s touches like these that have turned Petit St Vincent into one of the more sought-after, beloved private-island retreats in the region since it first opened its doors in 1968. 

Of course, it’s not just the clever communications system – there’s the Jean-Michel Cousteau dive center; the pair of outdoor restaurants; the tennis courts; the open-air spa. 

And now, Petit St Vincent is open gain. 

Petit St Vincent, the private island resort in the heart of the Grenadines, officially reopened its doors (and flagpoles) on Nov. 1. 

The 115-acre private island recently completed a “refreshing” of its 22 one and two-bedroom cottages and villas; that project included the addition of new flooring, new roofs and updated soft goods. 

The property has also updated its physical plant and back of house systems, the property told Caribbean Journal.

Petit St Vincent also recently joined Small Luxury Hotels’ new Considerate Collection, a portfolio of 26 luxury hotels with an eco-focus.  

“We believe that providing a one-of-a-kind luxury experience can coexist with the desire to maintain as small of a footprint as possible,” said Matthew Semark, General Manager of Petit St. Vincent. “Our corner of the Caribbean is incredibly special, and we are dedicated to keeping it that way. Our guests are pleased to see our commitment to the health of the surrounding environment – they want to be able to share PSV with future generations.”

The highly-anticipated new Margaritaville all-inclusive resort is open in the Dominican Republic’s Cap Cana. 

The new Margaritaville Island Reserve by Karisma Cap Cana is the second resort to open as the result of an alliance between Margaritaville and Karisma. 

The first Margaritaville Island Reserve opened its doors on the Mexican Caribbean in the summer of 2020. 

The new resort, set on Cap Cana’s Juanillo Beach, has a total of 228 suites, along with 40 luxury villas, a pool and a spa. 

That includes three different categories of swim up suites, including beachfront honeymoon swim-up suites; swim-up premium suites and swim-up junior luxury suites. 

There’s also a signature Jimmy Buffett Suite, according to Karisma. 

That’s along with six restaurants and five bars, all with the Buffett theme and one, of course, called Five O’Clock Somewhere (it’s one of two swim-up bars on property). 

It’s the latest in what is a growing Caribbean resort portfolio for the Margaritaville brand. Another Margaritaville resort (not affiliated with Karisma), opened in Nassau over the summer.
