Princess Margaret's private island, since 1958

Mustique

St. Vincent & the Grenadines · December to April

A three-mile private island in the Grenadines where Princess Margaret built her retreat and the template for royal privacy was set. A hundred or so villas, one legendary bar, and a strict code: no press, no paparazzi, no one who isn't known. The Prince and Princess of Wales still holiday here.

Why it stays exclusive

·No commercial hotels — the island is villas, mostly privately held
·Flights arrive via Barbados on a small charter; there is no other way in
·A resident policy that has kept photographers off the sand for decades

What is possible here

·A week at a staffed villa on Macaroni or Endeavour Bay, chef included
·Basil's Bar on a Wednesday, when the whole island — whoever they are — turns up
·A picnic on the empty windward beaches, delivered by the villa team
·Sailing the Grenadines chain at golden hour, out and back before dinner
