Petit Byahaut, St Vincent, Overview

PETIT BYAHAUT - REVIEW

If you’ve ever dreamt of getting back to nature on a desert island, then Petit Byahaut is the perfect place. Hidden in a jungled valley on the Caribbean island of St Vincent and accessible only be sea, this 50-acre retreat is a destination for the escapist. Despite the price tag, don’t expect five star luxuries; this is more about escaping the modern world. No roads, phones or TVs, simply exotic birds, flowers, trees and a reef teeming with tropical fish and coral.

Petit Byahaut accepts no more than 14 guests at a time, each accommodated in quirky homemade structures: some are room size tents; others are made of wood; all are tucked away on hillsides of lush vegetation. Great care has been taken to preserve the environment: rainwater provides showers, electricity is solar powered and the offshore coral is healthier than ever.

Hike through the rainforest to hidden waterfalls and a mile wide volcano or scuba dive, snorkel, sail and sea kayak right on your doorstep.

HIGHS

The remoteness and peace
Scuba diving through the bat cave
The delicious healthy meals, accompanied by extraordinarily fine wines

LOWS

For the less adventurous, it may just be too rustic
For those in need of evening entertainment, it can be a little subdued
The beach is dark volcanic sand but the water crystal clear
Solar-generated hot water and electricity means a sometimes random supply
