The Cotton House, St Vincent & The Grenadines

The Cotton House is the only hotel on Mustique and retains a delightful air of seclusion and exclusivity with just 17 rooms and villas set amongst 13 acres of tropical gardens. This old cotton warehouse was converted by Oliver Messel in 1968 and has been the social hub of the island ever since. The individual rooms are light and airy with high ceilings, crisp white linen and flashes of vibrant colour. Deluxe rooms and suites offer the added indulgence of a private plunge pool.

Whether you want barefoot informality or elegant a la carte dining you’ll find both options here. Head chef Tristan Welch, formerly of 2* Michelin restaurant Petrus creates fantasy dishes drawing inspiration from the finest local product and fruits of the sea. Dining at the Veranda Restaurant showcases Tristan’s clever twist on progressive West Indian cuisine and The Beach Café & Bar on Endeavour Bay is the place for morning coffee and long lazy lunches in the sunshine.

Spend your days beachcombing, sailing, fishing, horse-riding and scuba diving, enjoy some well-earned pampering in the impressive Cotton House Spa or just relax and do nothing at all!
