Mustique, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

At 1,400 acres, Mustique is large for a private island, but that plays into your advantage for pandemic travel as it allows plenty of space between the island’s collection of 88 luxury villas as well as elbow room at the 16-room Cotton House Hotel, one of just two non-villa accommodations on Mustique (along with the Firefly).
