Peter Island's new nest

I have a real soft spot for the Peter Island Resort -- which draws me because of its proximity to Roadtown, its sleepy, laid-back vibe and stunning beauty. Not to mention it routinely makes the Condé Nast gold list.

The 52-room resort is adding new luxury digs to its stable of villas. The six-bedroom, 10,400-square-foot Falcon's Nest Villa is slated to open on April 1.

The villa sits high on the peak of the hill overlooking White Bay Beach. It consists of three separate residences which offer views on a clear day to Norman Island and over to St. Croix in the distance.

The nightly rate for the villa is $8,000.
