All are air conditioned and equipped with a ceiling fan, flat screen TV, iPod docking station, mini bar, complimentary WiFi, espresso machine and a private balcony or terrace. There are three charming Garden Cottages located next to the pool, each includes an indoor sitting area and a spacious terrace. Superior Rooms and Deluxe Suites boast sea views or garden settings. The One- and Two- Bedroom Suites feature an extensive private verandah, plunge pool and outdoor dining area on the ground floor; an external staircase connects to the upper floor creating a spacious two-bedroom accommodation. The split-level Duplex Suites are on the hilltop with private plunge pools and distant ocean views whilst The Residence is a two-bedroom villa with private pool and butler service – hidden away on its own hilltop, it’s the ultimate in privacy and seclusion. RESTAURANTS & BARS: There are three dining options to choose from, the elegant Veranda Restaurant hosts breakfast daily, plus dinner five nights a week where it serves classic and contemporary dishes all inspired by the West Indies; complemented by an impressive wine list. Here, The Great Room provides a relaxing setting for a pre-dinner cocktail. The Beach Café sits right on the water’s edge and is open from 10am–10pm every day, it’s perfect for more casual, al fresco style dining with sharing platters, burgers, roti and some new Vegan dishes. Do not miss ‘Cook on the Sand’, Cotton House’s Saturday night beach barbecue, or the famous Friday night ‘Happy hour and a half’. Basil’s Bar is a Mustique must-do and is a dream setting for sundowners, particularly on a Sunday for their ‘Sunset Sessions’ and there’s also the fun Wednesday night ‘Jump Up’. Drinks, refreshing sorbets, chilled towels and cold water are served on the beach and pool deck. FACILITIES: There is a large swimming pool, tennis courts, mountain bikes, fitness centre, dive shop and a selection of non-motorised watersports including sailing, kayaks, pedal boats and snorkelling (watersports are payable locally).

EXPERT VIEW
- With its deserted white-sand beaches surrounded by pristine coral reefs and clear blue seas, we think Mustique is as close to paradise as you can get - It’s the little extra touches that make a stay here so special - from the scented candles and pillow menu to the gourmet picnic hampers if you want to explore - Visit the small museum in the adjacent
Old Sugar Mill where photography and artefacts tell the story of Mustique and how the vision and work of owner and architects Tennant, Hasselqvist and
Messel created the blueprint that is
Mustique today
