Guide to Mustique

Mustique is a rarity in the world of luxury travel, as an entirely private island purchased by Lord Glenconner, Colin Tennant, the island is renowned for its exclusive reputation, remaining a place where the world's elite can enjoy the very best in a private, peaceful Caribbean setting.  

Traveling around Mustique is made simple aboard your crewed superyacht charter and for a small island, there is a lot to see and do here. If you are looking to immerse yourself in the rich ocean life, there are many beaches to choose from on the isle. Macaroni and Simplicity beaches are situated on the north easterly side of the island and provide excellent areas for surfing and bodyboarding. Just a quick sail around the island’s southwestern tip from Gelliceaux, lies Lagoon Bay, equipped with long wooden tables on the white sand, this area is perfect for dining and indulging amongst friends and family in the Caribbean sunshine. Many visitors enjoy a lavish picnic here before climbing back aboard their superyacht to explore some more of this wonderful island. 

Looking for adventure? Why not explore the island on horseback, trekking up the hills or splashing along the shoreline. Mustique is home to one of the finest Equestrian Centers in the Caribbean, they have horses from thoroughbreds to ponies, to suit all levels and abilities. This is a great activity to enjoy with family and friends as you spend an afternoon riding across some of the most stunning landscapes the island has to offer. 

One of the advantages of a superyacht charter is the freedom to be able to explore above and below the water. In Mustique, there are various shipwrecks which offer opportunities for scuba diving enthusiasts to observe the marine life and wreckages across the seabed. Alternatively you can head to the south westerly side of the island which offers crystal clear waters suited perfectly for those looking to snorkeling and paddle boarding.

After a day of adventure and exploration, make sure you leave enough time to enjoy one of the most famous restaurants on the island, Basil's Bar. Holding the reputation as the place where the beautiful people hang out, the bar creates the perfect ambience to end your day in style. Choose a table on the terrace built on stilts over the sea and watch the glowing sunset come down as you drink delicious lime Daiquiris and feast on lobster. Every Wednesday, the weekly Jump Up party takes place here, drawing in the entire island for dancing and live music creating a night to be remembered.
