Saint Barths, Saint Vincent, BVI

Looking for suggestions for my 5 year anniversary trip, I have narrowed down the locations to those listed in the subject line.
For Saint Vincent the Petit Saint Vincent looks great, Saint Barths I'm looking at Le Toiny but really have just started on the search here and for the BVI i have not yet started the search.
Looking for those with experiences with any of these locations/hotels/activities, etc.
Would like to do some activities but the trip will really be centered around food, drink and relaxation as best as possible.
Thanks

St Barts is the definition of food, drink and relaxation. Some fun easy hikes to different beaches, snorkeling/scuba diving, sunset sailboat tour. We always stay in a villa, but all the hotels are very nice. Toiny is a beautiful area, but not a beach you would swim at. Can be very dangerous currents there

If you aren’t planning on renting a boat and sailing around the BVIs, you can cut those islands out.
Love St. Barths but you may get more mileage renting a villa up in the hills and spend each day exploiting the island and it’s differing beaches.

Petit St Vincent isn’t close to St Vincent. You’d fly into Union Island. I’d actually recommend Palm Island Resort. Much cheaper and you have access to the same areas.
For the BVI, the only true luxury resort is Little Dix Bay in Virgin Gorda. very expensive and not worth it imo. Get a captain and stay on a boat. Cheaper and a great experience.

This is a great suggestion for the BVI or St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
However, there's more than one great resort in the BVI although the best are $$$$$$$. You might want to check out Little Dix Bay which is also on Virgin Gorda and overall is a better resort than VGYC. Sasdly, Peter Island has not reopened yet or I would recommend that as well.

Peter Island when it's open and then there's Necker Island owned by Sir Richard Branson and it is the definition of luxury that only the .01% can afford.

What issue did you have with it? I ask because me and the wife are staying there for a week for our 25th anniversary this year, but it isn't too late to change plans. She mostly wants be on a beach and read / relax and didn't want a boat other than a couple of snorkeling outings.
Never having been, they seem to have the best reviews of the places reopened. Also looked at Bitter End Yacht Club and a couple others before deciding. Understand food and drinks will be expensive, but not worried about that as long as it and the service are good.

It’s just super expensive. Only has one beach. It’s great, don’t get me wrong, but just over priced.
I did fail to mention an outstanding option in the BVI. And that is Guana Island. We anchored off their main beach, White bay, and it is one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. It’s expensive but less than little dix bay.

Do you think the Villa is the way to go? My wife wants all inclusive but if I can get them to pre-stock, etc. if much rather this.

For St B, i would rent a villa/house all day. So many incredible restaurants and as you mentioned, have the house stocked.
There are some incredible hotels and resorts on the island, but the prices are outrageous. We’ve stayed at Hotel Christopher and the Rosewood, just didn’t do all inclusive. Incredible properties, just expensive. Also rented a house and we much preferred that.
It’s a great island—your wife will be hooked. Enjoy!

Villa in st Barths and go buy all the wine, spirits, and caviar your heart desires. Very few days I’ve enjoyed better than days like this:
Wake up, have a cup of coffee overlooking the Caribbean or Atlantic, pack a cooler, head to bakery and grab some sandwiches or snacks, drive to a random beach, spend a few hours swimming and lying around, head back and grab lunch somewhere, nap, pool, open rose, head to dinner or cook in the villa, lather, rinse, and repeat.

St. Barths is a special island. Getting there is treacherous. Take the St. Barfs ferry from St. Maarten or land on a steeply descending runway. Once you are there it is spectacular.
