Mustique
A private island about 15 km southeast of Bequia, known for celebrity villas and empty beaches. Take a sailboat day trip and have a drink at Basil's Bar.
Mustique is entirely managed by a private company. In the 1960s Princess Margaret was given land there, and it became a getaway for British and American celebrities; it still maintains low-density development. Visitors can sail or charter a boat from Bequia, anchor, then go ashore to explore white-sand beaches such as Macaroni Beach. Meals are served at Basil's Bar, a bar on stilts over the sea. Photographing private villas is prohibited, so follow the island's rules for visitors. Sailboat day trips usually include snorkelling.
