Young Island was
established over 30 years ago as one of the first exclusive Caribbean
resorts. Since its beginning, this 35 acre island near the coast of
St. Vincent has continuously been a hotel resort of international
standing and a popular vacation destination. Legend says it was once
the home of a Carib Indian chief who traded his island for a black
stallion. Today, pottery shards are occasionally turned up by the more
adventurous, supporting the local legend. Where once a Carib
chief resided, you can now live like a king, forgetting time, not
counting the perfect days that follow one another. In 1980, it
was acquired by its current Vincentian owners. The definitive
castaway island, with hilly interior and a pretty palm-fringed beach.
Charming rustic cottages nestle in tropical foliage, and those close
to the beach have private plunge pools. Enchantment follows discovery
on the 35 acres that is Young Island. It is virtually a tropical
garden. The trees are in fruit and flowers are everywhere. White
ginger, hibiscus, crotons, and ferns, to name a few, are sheltered
under tall palms, giant almonds, mango, coffee, nutmeg, flamboyant and
breadfruit trees. On the beach, where white sand eases gently
into the Caribbean, there are chaise lounges and mattresses for
sunbathers.
