ISLAND Mayreau

RELATED CONTENT

Hidden among the palms on a semicircle of powdery white sand, Saltwhistle Bay Club is a charming collection of double-suite cottages and thatched structures hand-built of local “bluebitch” stone on tiny Mayreau (“My-roe”). There are no TVs, phones, or air conditioning to distract from the cool tradewinds and turquoise waters. The small-scale resort has water catchment, employs twenty locals, and supports local fishers.

ISLAND Tobago Cays

This breathtaking, uninhabited cluster of islets is a national marine park that attracts visitors to its coral reefs and white-sand beaches. Fishing, jet skis, and dinghy anchoring aren’t allowed, yet the Tobago Cays’s fragile ecosystems have suffered from tourism and neglect. Visitors are encouraged to urge the government to protect, not develop, this area.

ISLAND Petit St. Vincent

If only all exclusive, pricey hotels were as sustainable as Petit St. Vincent Resort. Twenty-two secluded stone cottages (made of local bluebitch rock) with fantastic Caribbean views are scattered around this privately owned island, where the staff literally waits on you hand and foot. An organic farm provides fresh produce, and the resort recycles, composts, and collects rainwater—important because water is more precious than rum on this dry island. (800) 654-9326; PSVresort.com
