Cotton House Resort - Mustique
Cotton House resort on the island of Mustique offers privacy and luxury accommodations in the Caribbean with pristine beaches.
|
More Info:
The Cotton House Resort is located on renowned Mustique, a private island estate in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, West Indies. Surrounded by the Caribbean Sea to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Cotton House provides one of the most pristine holiday locations in all of the Caribbean.
Charming cottages and houses take their places in the beautifully landscaped gardens rising up from L'Ansecoy Bay. The sugar mill, remnant of a bygone era, stands like a sentinel within the plantation-style architecture.
A fresh sea breeze sweetens your senses as you take in the moment. Free from the normal boundaries and pressures of the world, Mustique welcomes you to the Cotton House, its hideaway and perfect tranquil retreat.
Cotton House is not quite like any other we've ever had the pleasure of visiting in the Caribbean. It has been described as a Fantasy Island Resort and one which would have Ricardo Montalban greeting you on arrival. Well, not quite, but close. The little airport is just over the hill from the resort and each time a tiny plane buzzed in for a landing we thought "the plane, the plane"! In the distance, they looked and swooped down for a landing just like the TV show.
And speaking of entertainment, lots of celebrities have lavish villas on Mustique. But, as with places like Aspen, they might be visiting and you might have the opportunity to see one, but probably not. Perhaps it's part of the mystique of Mustique!
It is a very private island and there are no scheduled airline flights or ferries to reach it. You can sail there on a yacht or take a commuter flight. We flew to Mustique from Barbados on a twin engine "Islander" plane which held 8 people and was one of the smoothest one hour flights I can remember.
The island of Mustique has rolling green hills, clusters of wooded areas, and cliffs plunging into deep blue waters separating gorgeous white sand beaches ... a perfect setting for the superb Cotton House Resort.
For an overview of Cotton House, click on the island image to see a large detailed map of the resort and its location on the northwest side of Mustique, an island 18 miles south of St. Vincent.
It is an elegant, yet relaxed destination for those seeking to truly "get away from it all".
Nearby Attractions:
Mustique quietly shares its unspoiled treasures with each of its guests. A hideaway for celebrities and royalty, the island is renowned for its seclusion. Mustique has several beautiful beaches and protected coves for guests to enjoy. Take in sailing, scuba diving and snorkeling, tennis, motorboat excursions, or horseback riding.
