Palm Island, Private resort island in Grenadines Parish, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Palm Island is a private resort island in the Grenadines with white sand beaches and gently sloping terrain. The property features accommodations, dining facilities, and beach areas spread across the island's relatively compact area.
The original Prune Island was leased to John and Mary Caldwell in 1966, beginning a major transformation of the landscape. Extensive planting and construction work over time turned the swampy terrain into the developed resort it is today.
The island maintains close ties with neighboring communities and participates in local maritime traditions of the region. These connections shape how people move between islands and trade with one another.
Getting to the island typically involves flying into Barbados and then taking a boat to reach the resort. The dry season offers calmer seas and more comfortable travel conditions for the journey.
The island grows its own herbs and vegetables in a plant nursery that supplies the resort restaurants directly. This local production keeps the kitchen supplied while supporting sustainable farming practices on the property.
