Mustique
This exclusive island is favoured by Wills and Kate, they holidayed there before the birth of both Prince George and Princess Charlotte and it’s where Kate’s mother, Carole, celebrated her 60th birthday. The private island, owned by Lord Glenconner, has long been a favourite of royalty – Princess Margaret owned her own luxurious villa there and used the island as her escape from royal life. Mustique is perfect for those looking for a classically exotic island getaway, filled with white sandy beaches, decadent parties and the chance to hobnob with the rich and famous.
