Mustique is famous for it's Jet-Set. Most of the 80 superb villas on the island can be rented (ask Mustique Company). The place is naturally rather expensive, but a very special island in the Grenadines.
A walk ashore is worthwhile (and inexpensive). The whole island is like a huge garden with flowers growing even along the airport's runway. Everything is clean and well kept and the people are pleasant. Don't miss a visit to Macaroni Beach on the East coast.
