St. Vincent & The Grenadines

Consider this scenario: Bronzed sun-worshippers sprawl along isolated white sands, hemmed by shimmering waves, coral reefs, and sleek yachts; the sweet scent of tropical flowers and rum punch fills the air; thatched-roof cottages rise over turquoise waters; the sweet scent of tropical flowers and rum punch fills the air; bronzed sun-worshippers sprawl along isolated white sands, hemmed by shimmering waves, coral reefs, and sleek yachts The interesting network of hidden islands floating in the distance is the only thing enticing you away from your beach towel. St. Vincent and the Grenadines welcome you.

If you don't want to spend your days tanning on one beautiful island (St. Lucia) or eating conch with swarms of visitors on two others (St. Kitts & Nevis), St. Vincent & The Grenadines is the place to go. This Caribbean resort is ideal for a getaway, with 32 secluded islands and cays offering verdant slopes, postcard-worthy ports, and boutique hotels. Spend a few days visiting St. Vincent, the chain's largest island, before traveling to Mustique, Canouan, and Bequia, three of the Grenadines' most beautiful (and private) islands. However, visiting this peaceful, less-visited tropical paradise will take a long time in transportation (there is no direct aircraft from the United States) and a large budget.
