On St. John, the name “Peter Bay” is now synonymous with elegant and stately, luxury villas. This exclusive neighborhood is home to some of the grandest (and certainly most expensive) private villas in the Virgin Islands, if not the entire Caribbean. Peter Bay is located between Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay, along the exceptionally picturesque, very serene and beautiful north shore of St. John. The tranquil neighborhood is totally surrounded by the National Park and offers gorgeous views of Cinnamon, Maho and Francis Bays, Little Thatch Island and Tortola. Lower Peter Bay consists of about 11 acres and upper Peter Bay is about 14 acres. As of 2011, there were about 14 homes in Peter Bay, all built since 1994. More homes are being planned, so ask your villa consultant if there’s any construction activity near your villa. The restaurants of Caneel Bay Plantation (a 5 star resort) are a 5-minute drive and Cruz Bay is a 10-minute drive on the incredibly scenic North Shore drive.
