St Vincent and the Grenadines
| ![]() |
|||||||||
St Vincent has had an explosive past thanks both to its Caribbean history and the 3,000ft Soufrière volcano that dominates the island. This fertile and mountainous island was one of the last in the Caribbean to be colonized by Europeans. When they did move in, the Carib Indian inhabitants put up a fierce struggle to maintain their independence.
You can see evidence of the island's earliest inhabitants in rock carvings at Layou. You can walk on a nature trail through the lush Buccament Valley to enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest. The Trinity Falls, three falls dropping 100ft to a natural whirlpool, and the 60ft sheer Falls of Baleine are a must. And you can also take a restorative dip in the Owia Salt Pond. Kingstown is also the jumping off point for The Grenadines, a string of 30 tiny islands spreading south along a 45-mile arc. Some are well-developed but never crowded, others are little more than a lonely, unspoiled beach and a collection of houses. Together they all offer some of the best sailing in the world. Beautiful St Vincent has remained untouched by mass-tourism. On this 18 by 11-mile island, the hotels, restaurants and bars retain the charm of a family setting. | ![]() SIGNATURE HOTEL
