Young Island Resort

St Vincent & the Grenadines


It’s only 200m offshore from Villa, but the private, vaguely heart-shaped Young Island is a whole world away. The 29 units here include sexy villas, some with plunge pools, killer views and everything you need to forget about the little hotel ferry back to St Vincent.

Go for a room right by the water or up on the hill, and avoid those stuck in the middle. Not all rooms have air-con, but there is no difference in price so make sure to request it when booking.

The resort also offers a day package for visitors (US$123) that includes a room, lunch for two and use of all facilities.
