Saint Vincent & the Grenadines: Overview

Not the name of a biblical story, but islands of paradisaical proportions.

Jagger and Bowie call it home, as do aristocrats, wealthy yachters and rehabbing celebrities. Despite its pockets of world-class luxury, most of St Vincent and the Grenadines is a tranquil, lost corner of the Caribbean.
