When you think of the Grenadines and St. Vincent, first think of ashen-coloured sands, turquoise waters, and swaying palm trees. St Vincent, an island located south of St. Lucia, and its 32 neighbouring islands are a popular destination for elite travellers.
The likes of Mick Jagger and Tommy Hilfiger have enjoyed mooring their private yachts off its concealed shorelines. Interestingly, an airport on the main island makes visiting the island an open, for-all affair. However, this island still gives you the perfect serenade environment for visitors’ relaxation.

When to visit St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Perfect Caribbean weather and the constant temperature hovering in the mid-80s means that a tour of the Grenadines and St. Vincent islands is always one enjoyable adventure. Many tourists visit the islands between December and April to take breaks from the winter cold. However, logistics cost like hotel rates see a drop usually at the start and end of this high season – in May, June, as well as in November. Both islands are susceptible to the risk of hurricanes from July through to October.
