The Best Hotel in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Except for Cotton House and Firefly, Mustique is an island of privately owned villas—more than 85 of them; rentals can be arranged through Mustique Villa Rentals. Each villa is unique, with two to nine bedrooms. Rentals include a full staff (with a cook), laundry service, and a vehicle or two. Houses range from "rustic" (albeit with en suite bathrooms for every bedroom, phones, pools, and other amenities) to extravagant, expansive mansions with a resident butler. All are elegant and immaculately maintained. Weekly rentals run from $11,500 for a two-bedroom villa in the off-season to $80,000 for a palatial seven-bedroom villa in winter.
