Book Mustique Icon - ASSOULINE

A private retreat in the Caribbean – Mustique is modest in size and appearance (less than eight square kilometers), but its guests are anything but. Developed in the mid-20th century by Scottish aristocrat Colin Tennant, the island has since attracted a host of famous names – from Princess Margaret to music legends such as Mick Jagger and David Bowie. Thanks to its "no paparazzi" policy, stars find an unspoiled paradise here, far away from the public eye, where they can be themselves.

Mustique Icon invites readers to immerse themselves in this distinctive spirit of barefoot luxury. Behind turquoise bays and the scent of frangipani lies the island's true secret: a rare balance of exclusivity and relaxed ease. Here, life follows a leisurely rhythm—horseback riding on the beach, sunsets over the sea, or picnics on Macaroni Beach.

Hidden in the hills are iconic villas – both classic and modern – that celebrate the island's natural beauty. A close-knit community of locals and long-time guests creates the warmth and familiarity that makes Mustique unique. Morning swims in the Caribbean Sea, leisurely lunches at the Cotton House, or cocktails at Basil's Bar under the moonlight – on Mustique, every sun lover and peace seeker will find their own special place to linger in the quiet elegance of this island.
