A secluded 35-acre island paradise with a pristine beach and stunning tropical gardens, Young Island Resort on St. Vincent is an intimate haven of utter tranquility. Private cottages peek out from the jungle slopes of a central ridge offering spectacular vistas, while beachside cottages are steps away from the sea. Wandering stone walkways link the cottages with dining and lounge pavilions where delectable island specialties will tempt even the most discerning palate. With only 30 cottages, this ultra private island enclave will always feel like your very own.

ACCOMMODATION: Deluxe: Accommodations are within bright stone cottages with shingle roofs, jalousies to let in trade winds, and all cottages have a view of the ocean. The spacious interiors feature polished stone floors topped with reed matting, rattan and laminate furniture, ceiling fans, refrigerators, wall safes, king or queen beds, twins on request, with fine linens, and ample storage. Showers are romantic little rock grottoes, open but well hidden from curious eyes Deluxe cottages feature large rooms with a sitting area within the bedroom, or they have a very large private patio.

Luxury/Luxury w/Pool: Three of the five Luxury rooms are high on the hillside, with huge plank decks, lounges, hammocks, and sitting rooms overlooking the spectacular Grenadines. Beachside Luxury suites have a bedroom, sitting room, and large terrace with a plunge pool and gazebo. All hillside rooms are at the top of a steep stone staircase entangled with tropical rainforest growth. Deluxe and Luxury rooms show wet bars, electric kettles, coffeemakers, toasters, and assortments of coffee and tea.

ISLAND OF ENCHANTMENT: Enchantment follows discovery on the 35 acres that is Young Island. It is virtually a tropical garden. The trees are in fruit and flowers are everywhere. White ginger, hibiscus, crotons, and ferns, to name a few, are sheltered under tall palms, giant almonds, mango, coffee, nutmeg, flamboyant and breadfruit trees. On the beach, where white sand eases gently into the Caribbean, there are chaise lounges and mattresses for sunbathers.

Hammocks hang under thatched roofs for reading and napping in the shade. The cooling trade winds are ever constant and enjoyed too for sailing and windsurfing. Windsurfers, small sailboats, glass bottom boat, snorkels, masks and flippers are available at no charge. Scuba diving is readily available for the beginner or pro at rates charged locally. Just off shore is our "Coconut Bar" where drinks are served in fresh coconuts, guaranteed to taste like "one more", before the swim back to shore.

RESTAURANT: Dining at Young Island under romantic thatched kiosks near the beach or in our dining room surrounded by tropical gardens is a memorable experience. Several nights a week, guests enjoy elegant buffets prepared by our award winning chefs.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are abundant, along with our gourmet selections featuring fish, beef, pork, and chicken. Breakfast offers such delights as flaming rum French Toast and our outstanding cheese omelets.

As a special treat and one that we are world famous for - each meal offers six loaves of freshly baked bread from our kitchen - white, coconut, banana, raisin, cinnamon, and wheat.
