Mustique Island

Home to just shy of 3,000 year-round inhabitants and firmly established as one of the most exclusive destinations in the world, Mustique Island is an idyllic location for a luxury villa holiday. This privately owned island lies in the heart of the St Vincent and the Grenadines chain out on the eastern edge of the Caribbean.

Mustique stretches over a mere 1,400 acres of dramatic, jungle-cloaked hills and sand-fringed coastline. The beaches – led by the alabaster hues of Macaroni Beach, the most celebrated of all – come with pure white sand and threads of swaying coconut palms. The seas that lap them are clear aquamarine blue, dashed by coral gardens that teem with turtles, rays and reef sharks.

The island has become a haven for conservation and eco-travel in the Caribbean. It features a carefully-maintained nature reserve extending from shore to shore and beyond to cover rare and endangered marine habitats at sea. The upshot? A luxury villa holiday in Mustique should be easy on the conscience and as ecological as it comes.

Dining on Mustique is an experience in itself. Whether at the world-renowned Basil's Bar, known for its lively atmosphere and meticulously mixed cocktails, or a private chef-prepared meal at your villa, prepare for a flurry of uber-fresh seafood and refined epicurean cooking.

Mustique Island has been the getaway of choice for celebrities and A-listers for decades. Former patrons of the isle include Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Sir Paul McCartney, and Amy Winehouse, to name just a few.

But despite its reputation for exclusivity, Mustique still manages to exude a relaxed charm, free from ostentation. The atmosphere is one of understated luxury; effortless opulence. That underscores our curated collection of luxury villas in Mustique, too. They include grand sea-view mansions with infinity pools that seem to mingle seamlessly with the Caribbean and estates that channel local architectural traditions through their wood-build decks and cabana-style suites.
