The social scene is turbo-charged by an intoxicating brew of royalty, rock stars, aristos and artists, who all love Mustique’s approach to paparazzi: deportation. So ask the captain to stop by this truly mesmerising destination on your Caribbean superyacht charter.
Where it all began
The late Lord Glenconner (Colin Tennant) bought the island for £45,000 in the 1950s and transformed a barely inhabited swamp into the Shangri-La of the jet set. Tennant’s stroke of genius was giving Princess Margaret a four-hectare plot as a wedding present. Mick Jagger and David Bowie both bought Mustique pads in the late 1970s, cementing the island’s stellar status.
The scene-stealers
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge have visited Mustique several times, while the Bertarellis and the Gettys have moored their yachts here.
