Young Island is an all-inclusive, private island resort in the Grenadines located close to the coast of St Vincent. It was one of the Caribbean’s first private island resorts and maintains a traditional feel and warm service. Young Island offers a Robinson Crusoe feeling, whilst still being close to the mainland and allowing guests to get out and explore.
Cottages and suites are found either on the beach level or on the hillside, with stunning views out to sea and towards St Vincent. All accommodations feature a private terrace and open-air garden showers. Luxury suites also boast a separate living room and some have a private plunge pool. We would recommend opting for one of the suites on the hillside, as these offer stunning views towards St Vincent and the ocean.
Young Island offers authentic beachfront dining in open-air, thatched gazebos. An emphasis on local specialities and fresh produce ensures guests enjoy the best flavours of the Caribbean. The resort is known for the freshly baked breads that are served with every meal, with flavours including banana, cinnamon and raisin. The infamous Coconut Bar is just a short swim from the beach at high tide, allowing guests to sip the freshest cocktails on a floating platform - certainly a unique backdrop for that afternoon Mojito!
Young Island might only be a few minutes from St Vincent, but a stay here gives you the experience of a private island escape. Spend your days relaxing on the beach, strolling around the island and taking in views of the historical Fort Duvernette or snorkelling on the reef just off the main beach. For those wishing to explore the local island of St Vincent, you are just a short boat ride away!

Young Island is a resort that gives you a real 'Robinson Crusoe' feeling while still being only 200 yards from the main island of St Vincent, meaning you get the best of both worlds. The island has a rustic and laid-back feel, and we found the staff to be super friendly and the food to be excellent. After the night in our Luxury Room with Plunge Pool, we spent the morning exploring the rest of the lush and natural island, climbing to the very top for breath-taking views towards Bequia and Mustique. We then cooled off by snorkelling in the mini lagoon just off the beach.
