Mustique, a private island in the Caribbean part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, is a luxurious and exclusive getaway covering around 1,400 acres. Situated southeast of Saint Vincent, Mustique is known for its pristine beaches, luxurious villas, and serene atmosphere. Access to the island is typically reserved for residents, villa guests, and those arriving by private aircraft or yacht, which adds to the island’s allure and exclusivity.
Among the island's top attractions is Macaroni Beach, famous for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters, perfect for relaxation and water activities. Gelliceaux Bay, with its vibrant coral reefs and turquoise waters, is ideal for snorkeling and exploring the rich marine life. The island’s natural beauty can also be appreciated through the Mustique Nature Trail, offering a scenic walk through lush landscapes and providing great bird-watching opportunities for nature enthusiasts.
For accommodation, Mustique offers refined luxury with Cotton House, a former cotton warehouse transformed into a boutique hotel. Basil’s Bar, a laid-back spot known for its live music and picturesque setting, is a popular gathering place on the island, especially during the Mustique Blues Festival, which attracts world-class musical performances in a unique, intimate atmosphere. The island also features the Firefly Plantation, a historic site with views and remnants of the island’s sugar plantation history.
For a truly unforgettable experience, take a day trip to the neighboring island of Canouan, located about 18 miles southeast of Mustique, and play a round at the Jim Fazio-designed 18-hole championship golf course.
