Petite Mustique, Private tropical island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Petite Mustique is a small island located south of Mustique in the Caribbean, characterized by rolling hills, sandy beaches, and largely undeveloped terrain. The island remains sparsely inhabited and retains its natural landscape features throughout.
The island remained largely undeveloped until Britain took control of the Grenadines in 1763, when sugar plantations were established across the archipelago. Petite Mustique itself was never extensively cultivated or settled like some neighboring islands.
The surrounding Grenadines region maintains traditional Caribbean fishing practices and local customs passed down through generations of island communities.
Getting to the island requires boat transportation from nearby islands such as Mustique, Bequia, or Saint Vincent. Visitors should arrange transportation in advance and be prepared for weather-dependent conditions on the water.
The island has approved plans for a major resort development featuring a marina, casino, wellness spa, and heliport, though construction has not begun. Visitors today encounter mostly undisturbed nature that contrasts sharply with these ambitious future plans.
