Mustique Island - St. Vincent & the Grenadines
“I think Mustique is Duchampian – it will always provide and endless source of delight” – David Bowie
Playground of the Rich and Famous Mustique Island in St. Vincent & the Grenadines
Often called one of the best kept secrets in the 32 islands that make up the Caribbean archipelago of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Mustique is a private island known for white-sand beaches and luxurious villas, estates, cottages, and upscale resorts. But perhaps more than its pristine beaches and lush greenery, Mustique is known for another attraction – the rich and famous. Musicians, fashion designers, celebrities, and even royalty visit the island often. Mick Jagger, and Bryan Adams, and Tommy Hilfiger all have homes on Mustique, with Jagger owning two! And if you are a fan of The Crown, you will see Mustique in season three and four where Princess Margaret visits for an escape. In real life, Mustique was thrust into the global spotlight when Princess Margaret jetted there with her then-lover, the 17-years-her-junior Roddy Llewellyn, causing a tabloid frenzy. Prince William and Kate Middleton have also been going to the quiet Caribbean spot for years. But the chance to spot a celebrity is not the only reason that Island Hoppers Sailing Vacations stops at Mustique Island every voyage to St. Vincent and The Grenadines.
