Peter Island has a brand-new resort that just opened, but the island’s history dates back to the early 1600s when Dutchman Pieter Andriensen established a fort and settlement on the island. Over the centuries the island transitioned from cotton cultivation and tobacco farming to a 1970’s private island resort.
In 1978, the Devos family (Amway Corporation), purchased Peter Island after sailing past it several years before. The luxurious resort was owned and managed by the Amway Corporation from 1978 until 2001 when full ownership was transferred to the Van Andel family, co-owners of Amway.
In 2017, the island closed due to hurricane damage and so began a six-year project to rebuild and modernize, with the new Peter Island Resort unveiled in 2024.
