Saint Vincent

Saint Vincent is the largest of the string of islands that collectively form the archipelago nation of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. With a lush green interior that bulges with rugged volcanic landscapes – the island’s largest volcano, La Soufriere, still bubbles with activity – Saint Vincent is a true tropical paradise where the charm of the Caribbean, both aesthetic and cultural, converge to extraordinary effect.

The island’s complex history, of which much was spent under colonial occupation by both the British and French, is still evident today in the form of crumbling forts and veranda-wrapped plantation houses littered amongst vibrant bougainvillea and flourishing rainforest. Fort Charlotte, overlooking the island’s colourful capital, Kingstown, dates to the late 18th century. Kingstown itself is a charming, low-key capital that spills down tree-cloaked mountainsides towards the Caribbean Sea; it is a place where you can mingle with the local Vincentians, meander through beautiful botanic gardens and sample some of the flavoursome island cuisine.

As with any island in the Caribbean, Saint Vincent’s greatest allure is its pristine shorelines and coral-abundant waters, where stunning marine biodiversity thrives. Due to its volcanic origins, the island is fringed by numerous black-sand beaches, while its mountainous interior draws hikers and birdwatchers from far and wide; numerous endemic species of birdlife call the island home.
