We may earn a commission. It never decides our picks.
Mustique is a private island in the Grenadines, part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the West Indies. Its multi-million-dollar beachside villas and limited access make it a choice for travelers seeking a private island stay. About 500 people live on Mustique year-round, rising to about 1,200 in peak season. The homeowner-owned Mustique Company manages the island and many of its roughly 120 villas. Visitors come for villa stays, reef snorkeling and diving, and time on the beaches. Macaroni faces the Atlantic and has large waves; sheltered Gelliceaux is a better choice for swimming.
Mustique also has reminders of its plantation history, including the sugar mill at Endeavour and the 18th-century Plantation House. Lovell Village was built in 1964 for the island’s original inhabitants. Villa rentals can be costly, ranging from about $8,000 for one bedroom to $150,000 per week for six or more bedrooms. Reach the island by ferry from Saint Vincent on the M/V Endeavour or fly into Mustique Airport. Golf carts and ATVs are the only powered transport on the island.
