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, while 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 offers 40 expertly designed and authentically decorated guestrooms each of which embodies the true spirit of the Grenadines. All guest rooms and lofts feature a/c, ceiling fans, louvered-windows, custom-designed rattan and bamboo furniture, luxurious cotton bed linens, richly colored fabrics, spectacular balconies or patios and original artwork created by a Palm Island resident artist.

In-room amenities include: complimentary bath products, in-room safe, bathrobes, mini-fridge, turndown service, room service for continental breakfast and afternoon tea.

No televisions or telephone in guestrooms. TV viewing is available in a designated public area only. World-wide telephone and telefax facilities are available.
