Mayreau is rimmed with pristine beaches and offers spectacular views from the hill. It is one of the smaller, locally inhabited Grenadines, with just one village. Originally the whole island was owned by the Eustace family of St. Vincent and the inhabitants owned no land. Then land in the village was made available to them, and now much of the island has been sold.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a southern Caribbean nation comprising a main island, St. Vincent, and a chain of smaller islands. With yacht-filled harbors, chic private isles and volcanic landscapes, it’s known for its major sailing destinations such as reef-lined Bequia Island off Admiralty Bay, bordered by white-sand beaches like Princess Margaret. The main island is home to the capital, Kingstown.
