This jewel-like chain of 32 islands is home to some of the Caribbean's most alluring hideaway hotels and undiscovered gems; the journey alone is spectacular as you fly from Barbados over the clear turquoise waters speckled with lush green islands. For such a small country, there's an outstanding choice of resorts –
whether you're looking for relaxed glamour or barefoot simplicity – and an equally surprising range of natural attractions aside from the ocean. As you might expect,
watersports are superb and it's a sailor's paradise. Honeymooners will find it hard to find a more romantic escape – and beachcombing hedonists need look no
further! Some of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean movie was filmed in St Vincent & The Grenadines – and the stars stayed at Young Island.

Did you know....?
The cannons in the forts are turned inward rather than out to sea – the British were
protecting themselves from the native Caribs who lived inland.

Food & Drink
The national dish is breadfruit served with fried Jack fish – there are dozens of local varieties of avocado and mango as well as sugar apples, sapodilla and the Bequia Plum. Spices are also grown for export including cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, aniseed and ginger.

Restaurants
The quality of cuisine in all of our resorts is superb but whether you are visiting the
islands for a day or longer, you might like to visit the following restaurants: The Old Fort on Bequia, Basil's Bar and Firefly on Mustique and Petit Byahaut on St Vincent (they will send a boat for you from Buccament Bay!).

Suggested Activities
St Vincent
Don't miss market day (Friday and Saturday), the Botanical Gardens, the
fertile Mesopotamia Valley, the Petroglyphs and rock carvings at Layou, St
George's Cathedral and the Falls of Baleine which can be reached either
by boat or by hiking expeditions.

Bequia
Visit Brother King and his turtle sanctuary at Park Beach and join a tour of
the bizarre and extraordinary resident community of Moon Hole -
something like the set of The Flintstones.
