Hotel Palm Island Resort - All Inclusive, Palm Island, St. Vincent (Palm Island, St. Vincent)

Winner of Fodors Choice Award 2006. At the World Travel Awards it was named The Worlds Leading Private Island. Caribbean Travel and Life ranks it amongst the Caribbeans most romantic resorts. Travel and Leisure says it is one of the best places to stay in the world. Palm Island is a very special place. It lies on its own 135-acre island in The Grenadines, that chain of exclusive little islands that runs between St. Vincent in the north and Grenada in the south. It is reached via a 45-minute flight from Barbados to neighbouring Union Island, followed by an 8-minute ride by private launch. Great care has been taken to ensure the resort blends in with these untouched natural surroundings. The five white sand beaches are complemented by just 37 guest rooms that are dwarfed by the coconut palms and charmingly styled with their island-setting in mind. Activities are low-key and generally focused upon the sand and the sea, while dining is always a breeze-cooled beachfront affair, the delicious Euro-Caribbean cuisine taking full advantge of freshly-caught seafood and locally-grown vegetables. Yet Palm Island is not just a resort. It is a place where guests slow down, recharge their batteries and gradually rediscover the wonders of nature. Panoramic walking trails show off indigenous iguanas and interesting birdlife. Visiting yachts and traditional beach homes contribute a sense of authentic island life. And boat trips to the world-famous Tobago Cays ensure visitors leave with a great sense of place.
