St Vincent & the Grenadines

St. Vincent and the Grenadines consist of 32 islands and cays strung out over 60 miles of incredibly blue sea.

It is widely known for the beautiful underwater world of The Tobago Cays with superb sailing conditions, idyllic beaches and secluded island retreats.

The exotic island of Mustique is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the Caribbean at its best. Mustique is an island where sandals and sarongs are the name of the game. With rolling green hills, cliffs plunging into deep waters and soft white sand beaches, a trip to this island isn’t complete without a visit to Basil’s Bar, serving rum cocktails and delicious fresh seafood on the beach.

Crescent-shaped Canouan proudly boasts the world-renowned Raffles International’s first resort in the Caribbean, a championship golf course, beautiful beaches and an Anglican church brought to the island stone by stone from England.

Petit St. Vincent is a self-contained island property and a hotel specialising in seclusion. No phones or televisions disturb the peace, and walking to the beach, reading a book, swimming or enjoying a gentle kayak are the best ways to while away the days on this secluded, private island.
