As you touch down on the exclusive island of Mustique, the wonderful staff at Cotton House will already have arranged for you to be greeted with iced water and a chilled towel. Such is the exquisite service that will help to make your stay here so special. Once an 18th-century stone and coral warehouse, Cotton House has been transformed into a truly contemporary haven of good taste and informal style.

Mustique is a 25-minute flight from Saint Lucia and 50 minutes from Barbados.

On the tiny island of Mustique.

There are 17 elegantly-furnished rooms and suites scattered across the estate. All are air conditioned and equipped with a ceiling fan, flat screen TV, CD/DVD player, iPod docking station, mini bar, complimentary WiFi, espresso machine and a private balcony or terrace. There are three charming Garden Cottages located next to the pool, each recently renovated and extended to include an indoor sitting area and a spacious new terrace. Seaview Rooms and Deluxe Seaview Rooms are closer to the beach and have balconies with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and neighbouring islands; Deluxe Seaview Rooms also feature a private plunge pool. The One and Two Bedroom Family Suites have also benefited from a recent refurbishment and feature an extensive private verandah, plunge pool and outdoor dining area on the ground floor; an external staircase connects to the upper floor creating a spacious two-bedroom accommodation. The split-level Duplex Suites are on the hilltop with private plunge pools and distant ocean views whilst the Cotton Hill Residence offers a two-bedroom villa with private pool and butler service - the ultimate in privacy and seclusion.

There are three dining options to choose from, the elegant Veranda Restaurant hosts breakfast daily and dinner five nights a week where it serves classic and contemporary dishes all inspired by the West Indies and complemented by an impressive wine list. Here, The Great Room provides a relaxing setting for a pre-dinner cocktail. The Beach Café sits right on the water’s edge and is open from 10am–10pm every day, it’s perfect for more casual, al fresco style dining with sharing platters, burgers, roti and some new vegan dishes. Drinks, refreshing sorbets, chilled towels and cold water are all served all day long on the beach and pool deck. Do not miss the weekly Mustique Company hosted cocktail party in the Great Room followed by ‘Cook on the Sand’, Cotton House’s Tuesday night beach barbecue, or the famous Friday night ‘Happy hour and a half’. The Beach Cafe also offers a more informal Caribbean buffet style dinner on Thursday evenings.
