and transport you to the nearest Grenadine Island Airport.
There you'll be met by your skipper
and taken aboard your yacht for a quick sail to your island getaway.
Next it's the friendly villa staff you'll meet.
At your wish, your skipper will stand-by, awaiting instructions.
Spend the day in the villa and explore your new home.
Sail to Canouan for a round of excellent 18-hole golf
with all the fun of Scotland with beautiful Carenage Bay's aquamarine water always in view.

Make a quick decision to spend the night on the yacht in a secluded cay
without road access and electricity
making the brilliant stars overhead seem so near you can reach up and pick them.
Your household staff has everything at home in order awaiting your return.
Have dinner one night on nearby Carriacou
at perhaps the finest restaurant in The Grenadines at Roundhouse.
Give your skipper his instructions for lunch tommorow on Petit St. Vincent
and then relax poolside or play tennis on Bequia, Mustique, or Palm Island.

VIP Travel
in The Grenadines


The Old Fort ^{COUNTRY INN
What distinguishes the Old Fort from its competitors?
The dramatic mountaintop setting overlooking the Atlantic
(most of Bequia's inns are on the waterfront in Port Elizabeth);
the architecture -- reconstructed stone archways and walls, heavy handmade wood doors and rafters;  and the cuisine, a potpourri of West Indian, French, and German fare,  with most of the ingredients grown on the property.}
 

As a villa rental The Old Fort will be closed to the public. You will have exclusive use of the entire property and estate house with 5 double rooms. A household staff of 4 including the hotel's chef will cater to your every need. The proprietor resides in a private cottage on the estate and is always available to assist you in any way. A rental vehicle can be arranged upon request. Local market shopping and provisioning will be handled by staff as part of the service. The cost of the food and beverages, however, is additional and will be added to the final bill. Daily menu planning will be in consultation with the guests, if desired.

Saltwhistle Bay  ^RESORT

For those who prefer the privacy and romance of a tiny Caribbean Hideaway... without roads, cars or many of the familiar sounds of civilization.  A Last Frontier... in an unspoiled tropical paradise.
 
 
 

Saltwhistle Bay resort is located on a sandy point in the northern part of Mayreau consisting of eight large, airy double rooms with stone-built circular showers, room terraces and hammocks scattered among the palm trees and flowering shrubs. Each room has it's own name, wooden shutters, ceiling fans and batiks on the walls. A selection of books is available in the rooms and can be swapped between the rooms if you wish. The bay is a perfect half moon of white sand and azure water, ranking with the best of the Caribbean. A surf beach is just a few yards from the bay, on the other side of Saltwhistle. A charming stone and palm-thatched outdoor dining and bar area with a tiny boutique is located near the rooms where regional dishes are the specialty. This tranquil resort is for the "get away from it all" type with an adventurous spirit who enjoy stunning cocktails and meals in a peaceful atmosphere.

A private island resort
of 49 extraordinary rental houses,
with nine beaches, horseback riding, tennis,  sailing, windsurfing, scuba.
Poolside and seaside open-air dining.

Spaced thoughtfully over a 1400-acre island preserve, each villa tastefully reflects the West Indies
  environment of Mustique Island. They are now available for occupancy by discriminating guests who would
                        enjoy hillside and seascape surroundings of great natural beauty.
 

In 1968, a change of policy opened Mustique to outsiders who were willing to preserve the Island's original character. An economic development agreement was entered into between the government of St.Vincent and The Mustique Company. The agreement covered a broad spectrum of innovative fiscal and social plans including strategies to encourage tourism and the building of private homes, but numbering no more than 140. The plan, which was renewed in amended form in 1989, transformed Mustique Island from a family estate into a community of people dedicated to maintaining and enhancing their shares of the land for generations to come.
Mustique has retained its privacy and tranquility. Protecting the environment and the peaceful way of life is of paramount importance to all who live and vacation here. It is one of the cleanest and most secure places in the world.

   private, isolated from the rest of the boat, is individually airconditioned, has its own FM/stereo system, and conveniently has his-and-hers private heads, each with its own shower. After a brief afternoon sail to your first anchorage ... just off a palm-lined sandy beach ... perhaps you'll enjoy a swim ashore and a walk among the palms to work up an appetite for the fabulous appetizers which Chef Lisa DeSanto will have ready when you swim - or just float - back to the boat. Perhaps more champagne ... or an exotic tropical rum drink mixed by Captain Chris Gruver, himself a notable former-chef. This might be a good time to talk about the possibilities for your week ahead. Those possibilities are almost endless. Whether you just want to be quietly alone together, or work on your windsurfing technique, paddle around the shallows in an ocean kayak, or blast around the bay on a slalom ski behind FALCON's high-speed tender, it's all there for you. If snorkeling in crystal-clear Caribbean water is your thing, or if serious SCUBA diving is your passion, Chris is a certified Divemaster who can take you on a tour of the spectacular underwater scenery that's almost always just below wherever FALCON anchors.

We'll work closely with you to plan your cruise. It's your choice, but wherever you'd like to do, it will be on your own luxurious 85' yacht with spectacular food, an endless supply of champagne, and a professional, sophisticated crew dedicated to creating a romantic Caribbean escape you will always remember.
