Mustique

Fifty years ago Lord Glenconner had an ambitious dream: to create a private island sanctuary for those who were tired of the usual holiday destinations - he succeeded- and today Mustique is unquestionably one of the world’s most ‘exclusively inclusive’ private-island retreats.

Owned by The Mustique Company - which comprises the island’s property owners with 17 different nationalities represented - Mustique is a 1,400-acre private Caribbean island in the unspoilt region of St. Vincent and The Grenadines.  It is home to one hotel, The Cotton House & Spa; one guesthouse, Firefly; the famous Basil’s Bar, a tennis club, equestrian centre, several boutiques, a bamboo church, nine stunning beaches and 100 villas.

These 100 villas, of which, 75 are available to rent, offer one of the most varied spectrums of imaginative and impressive luxury homes in the world.  Each custom-designed, the styles vary from those which exude Zen-like simplicity or chateau-like opulence to modern geometric lines or the warm woods of a traditional Balinese house but all feature extraordinary views, at least one swimming pool, transportation and a dedicated team of friendly staff. Some have private spas, screening rooms and tennis courts and one property even has its own golf course.

The Mustique Company is the backbone to the island’s success handling all areas of Mustique’s operation from managing services, to protecting the environment, controlling building regulations, handling villa rentals and sales and marketing the island’s commercial entities.  Further information can be found at www.mustique-island.com.

Mustique has long been an island of choice for celebrities and royals favouring the discreet privacy and laid-back, casual lifestyle away from the camera lenses.  Today the core values remain as guests welcome the spaciousness, comfort and idyllic settings the villas provide combined with the highest levels of hospitality services, unadulterated luxury and the atmosphere of one long house party with friends.
