Where to Stay in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Where to Stay in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

A regional guide to accommodation across the country

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines spreads across two clear lodging worlds. On the main island of Saint Vincent you'll find rainforest lodges, cliff-side inns, and city hotels in Kingstown where charcoal smoke from breakfast bakes drifts through open shutters at dawn. Slide south and the Grenadines, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, and Tobago Cays, run on private-island resorts, yacht clubs, and gingerbread guesthouses painted the exact colors of Caribbean sunsets. Beachfront cottages let you walk straight onto powdery sand, while hilltop villas frame volcanic peaks rising from turquoise water. Expect island pricing. Budget rooms in Kingstown or Port Elizabeth cost less than a dinner back home, mid-range beach cottages match a European city hotel, and private-island suites vault into splurge territory. Christmas through Easter sends rates soaring across the Grenadines; July and August stay calm everywhere except when yacht regattas cram Bequia's Admiralty Bay.
