Found on Friendship Beach, the Bequia Beach Hotel combines luxury, elegance and charm with a relaxing setting and a laid-back vibe. Small yet perfectly formed, it makes the most of the island’s anonymity to retain an exclusive and serene ambience. Oozing character, this hotel features stylish colonial design highlighted by thoughtful modern touches and special individual elements, such as the bespoke rattan armchairs that adorn many of the rooms. The Bequia Beach Hotel has quite the reputation when it comes to food. Locals and tourists enjoy dining in beautiful Bagatelle and, in high season, Blue Tropic Café. Located right on the sand, Bagatelle restaurant overlooks the bay and serves both international and local cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Blue Tropic Café sits at the top of the hill, offering pretty views and delicious Italian food infused with a touch of the Caribbean. And don't forget to pay Jack's Beach Bar a visit; on Princess Margaret Beach, one of the Caribbean's finest, this bohemian beach bar is perfect for fresh seafood and cocktails. The rooms, suites and villas have a modern colonial style and are light, airy and welcoming with neutral tones complemented by a variety of authentic wood furnishings. Gaze out across one of the hotel’s pools from your balcony or terrace in one of the Classic Rooms which offer easy access to the water for a refreshing dip. If you’re keen to be lulled to sleep by the lapping of the waves and wake to views of tranquil Friendship Beach, upgrade to either a Beachfront or Junior Plantation Suite. The new Four Bedroom Palm Villa is ideal for families – it comes with a private pool and large outdoor terrace area with sun loungers and a cabana lounge space.
British Governor, Sir William Young exchanged his horse for this leafy Grenadines island nearly 300 years ago, and its name has stuck ever since. The eponymous and only hotel here is an exclusive retreat nestled in 13 acres of tropical palms and jasmine – it’s Robinson Crusoe-esque but never feels too remote, as you’re only 200 metres and a three-minute private ferry ride from St Vincent’s southern shoreline. Expect excellent service and a boutique vibe, with a 3:1 staff to guest ratio and just 29 cottages. These cottages are dotted along the beach or on the hillside and enjoy plenty of natural sunlight, with rustic-chic features like wicker furniture, signature wooden blinds, local artwork and open-air garden showers. For a separate sitting room and a spacious private terrace, we’d recommend upgrading to a Luxury Room – some even come with a plunge pool. Follow the path to cottage #15 for the spa, where you can enjoy a Couples Special package of aromatherapy massages, bubbly and chocolate fondue with local fruit bites. A stay on Young Island is designed to be restful and romantic, but there’s still plenty to do – head to the beach for complimentary watersports including kayaking and snorkelling. Dining is just as laid-back, in open-air thatched-roof huts near the beach – make a reservation to enjoy everything from freshly caught fish and lobster to local fruit and vegetables, before working your way through six flavours of freshly baked bread including banana, cinnamon and coconut. Enjoy the signature Coconut Delight Cocktail at the swim-up Coconut Bar and a sundowner at the quintessentially Caribbean Captain Bligh Lounge & Bar.
