7 days around the Windward Islands

Mustique is a private island in the Grenadines, renowned for its exclusivity, luxury, and natural beauty. Known for its pristine beaches, clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical landscapes, it’s a popular destination for yacht owners seeking privacy and relaxation. The island is famous for its upscale villas and boutique accommodations, and visitors often enjoy world-class dining, water sports, and exploring the vibrant coral reefs. Mustique is also home to a small airport, making it easily accessible by private jet or yacht. It’s the perfect spot for those seeking tranquillity and a touch of glamour.

Anchor off the island and step ashore for afternoon tea at The Cotton House and visit Britannia Bay to browse its collection of fruit stalls and small shops, all followed by an evening of Caribbean revelry at Basil’s Bar.

Mayreau is rimmed with pristine beaches and offers spectacular views from the hill. It is one of the smaller, locally inhabited Grenadines, with just one village. Originally the whole island was owned by the Eustace family of St. Vincent and the inhabitants owned no land. Then land in the village was made available to them, and now much of the island has been sold.

Accessible only by boat, the nearby Tobago Cays are made up of four uninhabited, palm- fringed islets ringed by pristine, sandy beaches and protected from the open sea by the famous kaleidoscopic Horseshoe reef. Perfect for swimming, amazing snorkelling with an abundance of sea life, and many sea turtles along with beach and island exploration.

Following a late night passage accompanied by Grenada’s famous island rum, wake to find your breakfast laid out on the aft deck while taking in the views over the crystal-clear waters of L’Esterre Bay on Carriacou. Decide to enjoy the beauty of Paradise Beach with a swim and afternoon drink at the local West Indian bar. The island has a varied coastline with many offshore islets perfect for swimming, diving and snorkelling. Sandy Island is best known and a short tender ride from Paradise Beach.

Grenada is the southernmost Eastern Caribbean country in the Antilles archipelago. But the Spice Isle — a nod to its bountiful nutmeg plantations — is actually the mainland, surrounded by a smattering of smaller islands. Like many of its neighbours, Grenada’s miles of white sand, turquoise waters, natural reserves, waterfalls, and cuisine are standouts for tourists.
