Young Island Resort

St Vincent & the Grenadines


There are few places that can boast that its specialty is bread, but here at Young Island the proof is in the pumpernickel. Every meal comes with a barge full of fresh bread to accompany the equally fresh seafood and other dishes prepared with some of St Vincent’s best bounty. Tables are set in beautiful gardens by the beach.

Nonguests are welcome; reserve in advance. The little hotel boat takes five minutes to reach the resort.
