Introduction

Reviews

This private island just off the coast of St Vincent has watersports, great food and a boutique feel.

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 183 metres and a three-minute private ferry ride from St Vincent’s southern shoreline. 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.

Why we love Young Island Resort

This hideaway resort sits on its own private Grenadines island and surrounded by the crystal clear Caribbean Sea
The rustic-chic cottages are located either right on the beach or up on the hillside hidden away in tropical greenery
Swim out to the floating bar (a Grenadines institution) for an uber-refreshing Coconut Delight cocktail
Listen to the waves and the sounds of the Caribbean as you receive a muscle-soothing massage

Rooms

29 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.

Dining is 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.

Head along to Cottage 15 for pampering treatments, aromatherapy massages and deep cleansing facials using botanicals from the island.

Take a walk along the island's many trails or head up to the hilltop tennis court for a game with incredible, if not somewhat distracting, views of the island.

If you can drag yourself from your beach hammock or poolside lounger, paddleboards, kayaks and snorkels are available for guests to use. Dives to suit all levels of experience can be arranged at nearby sites.
