While floating on the ocean aboard your private seaboard villa, sail through the Grenadine Islands. This collection of unique islands is a tropical paradise where you can relax with a cocktail all the while surrounded by an array of unique wildlife and historical landmarks. Smooth sailing is to be expected when cruising the Grenadine’s gentle ocean waters.

Bequia

Be sure to check out the unique stone homes of Moonhole Bequia. Used with native hardwoods, whalebones, and artifacts recovered from the sea, architects built large open rooms with impressive seaside views. The name comes from the stone archway formed by a volcanic substrate which you can occasionally see the moon through.

Mustique

Mustique Island has beautiful plantation style homes designed by architect, Oliver Messel. On the island, you can find colorful gingerbread boutique shops and the world famous Basil’s Bar. Mustique is very well known for their famous residents and visitors like Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Sir Paul McCartney, Queen Elizabeth II, and more.

Princess Margaret Beach

The beach is named after Princess Margaret, who had owned a home nearby in Mustique. The waters surrounding the beach are said to hold some of the best sailing conditions around. Enjoy the sea’s aquamarine waters and drink at Jack’s Bar on the coast.

Tobago Cays

Anchor off to Tobago Cays for a peaceful escape from modern life. The Cays are an archipelago composed of 5 small uninhabited islands with sandy beaches and an array of wildlife. Tobago is noted as one of the Caribbean’s most popular eco-tourism destinations. Here you can enjoy pristine turquoise waters and go snorkeling to get up close with rays and sea turtles. Famous movies like Pirates of the Caribbean used this paradise as a filming location.
