Often people calling looking for a ‘different’ Caribbean experience are not even aware of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, known to the locals as SVG. People may have heard of Mustique in the earlier Mick Jagger days, or more recently from the villa holiday that William and Kate joined the Middletons on. SVG consists of 32 small islands and cays that offer the ultimate Caribbean experience, sort of Robinson Crusoe desert island style, a short flight away from Barbados.

A villa on tiny Mustique is an option, but so is their one exclusive hotel, the Cotton House, a favourite with international jet-setters. Bequia (pronounced Beck-Way) is adorned with villas and also offers the Bequia Beach hotel as their exclusive hideaway. The most popular with my clients is the private island of Palm Island’s sheer escapism. Or Young Island, again a desert island just for you. Another affordable favourite is Canouan, staying at the rustic -newly refurbished – Tamarind Beach hotel in a Beachfront room. Heaven.

Finally for this blog, on St Vincent itself is the relatively new Buccament Bay, a family-friendly all-inclusive resort which is winning awards left, right and centre.

All islands provide a base for sailing to other islands and cays – Tobago Cays has the wow! factor – and diving and snorkelling in some of the best waters in the world. These are magical islands offering holidays of a lifetime!

Canouan island is very small – only five square miles, but has the advantage of a modern airport accessible from the UK via Barbados, Grenada or St Lucia, with night-time facilities also – a problem with most of the other Grenadine islands. The now-exited Raffles hotel Canouan Island welcomed the wealthy from near and far to their fabulous golf courses and has been replaced by the Carenage Bay Estate with many exclusive villas and a boutique Canouan hotel. Barbados Travel Deals will be promoting this hotel with great deals in the very near future.

Also on Canouan island is the smaller, lively hotel, Tamarind Beach Hotel and Yacht Club, on a fabulous white sandy beach and with forty beachfront hideaways. The Tamarind Beach hotel offers all the beauty of the island and its surrounding clear sparkling waters offering complimentary snorkeling, wind-surfing, hydrobikes and paddle boats etc and is a wonderful base for scuba diving and sailing trips at their best.
