Mustique is one of the most exclusive islands in the world, surrounded by coral, white sand beaches and coves and frequented by the rich and famous. You may even get to mingle with celebrities at the atmospheric Basil’s Bar, the hot spot of the island at Britannia Bay, Mustique’s main harbor.

But there is a reason the royals and rock stars come to this place – it is a 2-square-mile paradise of protected natural beauty.
