A
PRIVATE ISLAND RESORT
St Vincent & The Grenadines is located in the Caribbean Sea, 1600
miles southeast of Miami, situated between St. Lucia to the north and
Grenada to the south and 100 miles west of Barbados - 5 minutes from
St Vincent by boat.
Hidden within most of us is the fantasy
of someday discovering an uncharted island, surrounded by clear
waters, unspoiled by man and his industries. An island where
fruits, flowers, birds and fish abound ... all in a climate of
absolute perfection.
Such an island is YOUNG ISLAND, an
enchanted private island paradise. Legend says it was once the
home of a Carib Indian chief who traded his island for a black
stallion. Today, pottery shards are occasionally turned up by the
more adventurous, supporting the local legend. Where once a Carib
chief resided, you can now live like a king, forgetting time, not
counting the perfect days that follow one another.
Enchantment follows discovery on the 35
acres that is Young Island. It is virtually a tropical garden. The
trees are in fruit and flowers are everywhere. White ginger,
hibiscus, crotons, and ferns, to name a few, are sheltered under
tall palms, giant almonds, mango, coffee, nutmeg, flamboyant and
breadfruit trees. On the beach, where white sand eases gently into
the Caribbean, there are chaise lounges and mattresses for
sunbathers.Hammocks hang
under thatched roofs for reading and napping in the shade. The
cooling trade winds are ever constant and enjoyed too for sailing
and windsurfing. Windsurfers, small sailboats, glass bottom boat,
snorkels, masks and flippers are available at no charge. Scuba
diving is readily available for the beginner or pro at rates charged
locally. Just off shore is our "Coconut Bar" where drinks are
served in fresh coconuts, guaranteed to taste like "one more",
before the swim back to shore.

Young Island was established over
30 years ago as one of the first exclusive Caribbean resorts. In
1980, it was acquired by its current Vincentian owners, Mr. Vidal
Browne and Dr. Fred Ballantyne. Since its beginning, this 35 acre
island near the coast of St. Vincent has continuously been a hotel
resort of international standing and a popular vacation destination.
St. Vincent's native tongue is
English, having been a British Colony until 1979, and encompasses
144 square miles. Population is approximately 108,000. The Young
Island Dock is a 20 minute taxi ride from the Capital, Kingstown,
and 8 minutes from the ET Joshua Airport at Arnos Vale.

swim up bar located a few yards off the beach. It is opened most
days from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. while the Captain Bligh bar (Main
bar) operates from 9:00 a.m. until... Hors D’hoeuvres are served at
