St. Vincent & The Grenadines Resort Vacations

Welcome to St. Vincent & The Grenadines!

 

The magical Grenadines. A part of the world where time is suspended, waters are clear and beaches are white. In this mystical strand of jewels lies the gem of Palm Island. Sea grapes snuggle around the five, dazzling, alabaster strands that frame the 100-acre sandy sanctuary, and unrivaled setting offering the most serene found anywhere in the entire Caribbean.

With a total of three square miles, Canouan Island is one of the larger of the 32 islands that comprise St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Canouan is set about half way down the island group which drape like a watch chain between St. Vincent and Grenada.

British customs predominate in St. Vincent, appreciated most for its botanical beauty. South of St. Vincent, enjoy perhaps the finest yachting in the Eastern Caribbean along the charming 40 mile string of islands know as the Grenadines.

Grenadines

Welcome to Palm Island Resort . . . A private island paradise ...

At the World Travel Awards it was named ‘The World’s Leading Private Island’. Caribbean Travel & Life ranks it amongst the Caribbean’s ‘most romantic resorts’. Travel & Leisure says it is ‘one of the best places to stay in the world’. Palm Island is a very special place.

It lies on its own 135-acre island in the Grenadines, that chain of exclusive little islands that runs between St. Vincent in the north and Grenada in the south. It is reached via a 45-minute flight from Barbados to neighboring Union Island, followed by an 8-minute ride by private launch.

Great care has been taken to ensure the resort blends in with these untouched natural surroundings. The five white sand beaches are complemented by just 37 guest rooms that are dwarfed by the coconut palms and charmingly styled with their island-setting in mind. Activities are low-key and generally focused upon the sand and the sea, whilst dining is always a breeze-cooled beachfront affair, the delicious Euro-Caribbean cuisine taking full advantage of freshly-caught seafood and locally-grown vegetables.

Yet Palm Island is not just a resort. It’s a place where guests slow down, recharge their batteries and gradually rediscover the wonders of nature. Panoramic walking trails show off indigenous iguanas and interesting birdlife. Visiting yachts and traditional beach homes contribute a sense of authentic island life. And boat trips to the world-famous Tobago Cays ensure visitors leave with a great ‘sense of place’.

The resort is accessible via the hotels launch from Union Island, which is about a 10-minute ride. There are daily flights from Barbados to Union Island.

• A quiet 135-acre, All-inclusive retreat.
• Romance and relaxation amid breathtaking scenery.
• This resort is set on its own private island hideaway in the strand of isles that are St. Vincent and The Grenadines.
• The 37 guest rooms are free from the intrusion of TVs and phones and offer custom-designed bamboo furniture, luxurious linens, and a balcony or patio.
• The resort offers secluded white-sand beaches and exotic tropical landscapes.
• Freeform swimming pool with cascading waterfalls.
• Services available for an additional charge include private picnic lunches, deep-sea fishing excursions, scuba diving, and boat trips to the nearby world-renowned Tobago Cays.

Note:

The luggage allowance is 44 pounds per person and due to the vagaries of inter-island flights, there is a possibility that a guest's luggage may not arrive at Palm Island at the same time the guest arrives. Therefore, guests are encouraged to pack a carry-on bag with a change of clothes and necessary toiletries in the event their luggage does not arrive at Palm Island until the following day.
