| The uniquely beautiful archipelago of islands in the Caribbean called St. Vincent and the Grenadines is definitely the place to be to have a completely stress-free vacation. This will not be your traditional getaway. | ||
![]() |
St. Vincent and the Grenadines are located in the south Eastern Caribbean
about 90 miles west of Barbados - the likely place that you would disembark then
continue your flight to St. Vincent. The Grenadines are some 32 islands and cays
stretching south from St. Vincent. Only 8 of the Grenadines are populated and 4
of these have small Airports: Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and Union. The remainder
are bird sanctuaries and havens for hikers and snorklers. All are volcanic in origin,
deeply embayed with inlets where clear aquamarine waters shallow up on fine white
sand beaches. The larger islands include Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Palm, Petit
St. Vincent, Mayreau and Union. There are some uninhabited islets and rocks including
the famous Tabago Cays. All the Grenandines have lovely soft white coral sand beaches
and clear water, ideal for snorkelling, diving and sailing. Although a visit to
these islands may at times seem like a step into the past, there is a measure of
one's pleasure that has little to do with clocks. Where warm breezes blow. Discover a beautiful getaway; a hideaway that is not as commercial as most others, but offers the visitor an uncommon vacation with plenty of variety. This is the land - St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The true boys of St. Vincent are men of the sea. This fact defines the type of visitor that finds these islands truly enchanting. The big island of St. Vincent has rugged mountainous terrain, lush forest and many uncluttered beaches and inlets that more than imitates an Amazon getaway. Yet the island is sufficiently small (133 sq. miles - 18 miles long and 11 miles wide) that there is never the dread of being lost to civilization with a good guide. This most fertile of Caribbean islands has been fed by volcanic ash as recently as April 1979 - and provides for its inhabitants enough fruit and vegetables to make them self-sufficient. The Soufriere volcano which is to the north of the island is itself a wonderful attraction for the energetic and adventurous visitor. On the south west coast of the island is Kingstown the small bustling capital, built on a broad bay between two hilly promonitories. From Kingstown, highways wind their way northward along both coasts: the Atlantic or Windward coast is rugged, with pounding surf and rocky shores, providing dramatic landscapes; the Caribbean or Leeward coast offers spectacular scenery and most of the island's beaches. The most beautiful beaches in St. Vincent lie along the south coast, some of the best being at Villa, four miles from Kingstown. |

| Young Island Resort is an exclusive, private-island resort, just 200 yards off St. Vincent's south coast. With only 29 breeze-cooled cottages and suites, set along the beach and hillside of this 25 acre tropical paradise - you are bound to fulfil a fantasy or two. The island also offers two 44 foot luxury yachts for the use of its guests. | ||
