Ins & Outs of St. Vincent and the Grenadines - 2023

84 MUSTIQUE Iconic Island Life There is nowhere quite like Mustique, from the tranquil, unspoilt natural environment to the social life and annual events. You are equally likely to find yourself totally alone strolling along Macaroni Beach, as you are bumping into an old friend at the infamous Basil’s Bar on a late Sunday afternoon, while enjoying sunset sessions with your family and friends. Mustique is an island to explore at your own speed. A gentle morning swim in the turquoise Vincentian waters of Gelliceaux Bay, lunch at the Beach Café and a trip to the spa in the afternoon. Enjoy an early scuba dive exploring the amazing reefs which are being successfully regenerated thanks to the island’s coral restoration project or a snorkel with the Green sea turtles in Britannia Bay. In the afternoon hike down the Atlantic coastline to experience the wilder side of the island. Explore on horseback with a trek up into the hills before taking the horses for a swim in the sea. Hone your tennis skills at the much-loved Mustique Tennis Club, or just find a quiet spot and enjoy the view. Guests can stay at The Cotton House, more of an island beach club with beautiful suites than boutique hotel, or if arriving by boat, you can drop anchor in Britannia Bay and enjoy the shops in Britannia Bay, the fish market, Stanley’s fruit and vegetable stall and, of course, no trip to Mustique would be complete without a night out at Basil’s Bar. Many visitors fall so deeply for this iconic island life that they fall under its spell, only to return every year.
