St Vincent & The Grenadines

Canouan

Canouan claims some of the best beaches in the entire Caribbean - long ribbons of powder-white sands, wide shallows and coral. Donald Trump recently opened the ultra luxurious Raffles Resort on the island which includes an 18-hole championship golf course. We favour the cocktail bar at the island's other hotel, however - the Tamarind Beach Hotel - the perfect spot for sundowners as the evening starts.

Mayreau

Mayreau is the smallest of the inhabited Grenadine islands. There is a great walk along a trail from Saltwhistle Bay up to a quaint friendly village with bars, restaurants and a lovely church which offers a panoramic view of the Tobago Cays. The Saltwhistle Bay Resort has another good restaurant and bar practically on the beach.

Mustique

Well known as the holiday destination for reclusive jet-setters, Mustique retains an air of privacy and tranquility. We anchor in lovely Brittania Bay, where the world famous Basil's Bar juts out on stilts over the sea. There are a handful of exclusive shops to browse or you could take a taxi ride around the island to try and glimpse the villas of the rich and famous.
