Ideal for an exhilarating back-to-nature getaway, the British Virgin Islands are a jigsaw puzzle of green peaks, yacht-filled bays and long sandy beaches that never get crowded. Peter Island is one of its most magnificent pieces, a topsy-turvy, 728ha resort with five beaches, a dive centre and a superb Ayurvedic-inspired spa. The 52 units offer a choice of colourful oceanview rooms and beachfront suites, plus there's three villas including the panoramic mountaintop Falcon's Nest. Activities include water sports, hiking and complimentary morning yoga, with romantic picnics on isolated sands a speciality.
