Best Pool Hotels in British Virgin Islands

At the center of the resort, guests will find two pools. The top-level, multi-tiered Pavilion Pool features an infinity edge, waterfalls, a waterslide, a hot tub and two swim-up bars. And at the lower North Beach Pool, visitors can enjoy ocean views and a quieter atmosphere. Groups of cushioned lounge chairs and umbrellas sit poolside, and guests can walk from Pavilion Pool directly down to Donovan's Beach, one of the resort's two private stretches of sand. Donovan's Beach is where you'll find complimentary nonmotorized water sports equipment like kayaks, paddleboards and snorkel gear, while the 1,000-foot-long North Beach offers a more secluded setting.

At Peter Island Resort, guests can take a dip in the property's main pool, which offers ocean and mountain vistas from its pool deck. Lounge chairs with complimentary pool towels are also available. For additional swimming and lounging, the resort sits along five beaches. Hammocks and chaise lounges with umbrellas are sprinkled throughout the beach areas. Travelers can borrow complimentary nonmotorized water sports equipment to use at the beaches as well.

The main free-form pool sits near the beach in two tiers with a small cascade splitting the two. The area is outfitted with plenty of loungers, umbrellas and palm trees, through which guests can catch glimpses of the ocean. The resort’s uncrowded half-mile stretch of beach wraps around the bay and its vibrant blue waters, providing calm waves for swimming. In the sand, visitors will find lounge chairs, straw umbrellas and a small water stand. The nearby Beach Grill provides beach service, offering lunch and cocktails.

The small, circular hotel pool features lounge chairs, hammocks and tropical surrounds, while serving as a quiet, nestled alternative to the beach, where guests can lay out on loungers in the sand under straw umbrellas. The hotel is just across the road from the sand, so there’s no long trek out to the water to watch the boats go by.
