El veredicto
¿Vale la pena para su luna de miel?
Palm Island is a 135-acre adults-only private island at the southern end of the Grenadines — five white-sand beaches, one resort, no other inhabitants except staff. Originally established in the 1960s by John and Mary Caldwell (the Caldwells planted the island's now-iconic palms one by one over twenty years, which is how Palm Island got its name), the resort runs as a 41-cottage all-inclusive that is the southern Grenadines' most accessible private-island honeymoon option. The combination of strict adults-only policy (minimum age 18), genuine all-inclusive that covers food, drinks, water sports and kayaking, and the small footprint (135 acres for at most 80 guests at full occupancy) gives Palm Island a relaxed, no-decisions atmosphere that suits couples who want a private-island escape without the planning load of PSV's flag system or Mustique's villa logistics. The five beaches deliver real variety: Casuarina (the main beach, long and west-facing for sunsets), Hibiscus (snorkeling cove on the windward side), Highlights (the small north beach), Sunset (the tip), and Palm Beach (the most secluded). For couples wanting a stress-free all-inclusive Caribbean honeymoon with serious privacy, Palm Island is the southern Grenadines answer.

Recomendación de habitación
Qué habitación reservar
Beachfront Palm View Cottage on Casuarina Beach — single-storey wooden cottage with toes-in-sand access, a four-poster bed under mosquito netting, a small outdoor terrace, and the west-facing sunset over the channel to Union Island. The Plantation Suites (slightly larger, with separate sitting room) are the next category up. The Island Loft Suites are best for couples wanting a second floor and view over the trees. Beachfront book first; reserve 4 to 6 months ahead for peak.

Día a día
Su itinerario de luna de miel de 7 noches
Barbados to Union Island to Palm Island
Connection through Barbados (BGI) on the SVG Air or Mustique Airways scheduled flight to Union Island (UNI), 90 minutes. Palm Island's launch meets every flight at the Union Island jetty for the 10-minute boat ride across the channel. Welcome rum punch at the Sunset Beach Bar, settle into the Palm View cottage, dinner at the Royal Palm restaurant overlooking Casuarina Beach.
Five-Beach Walk & Casuarina Day
Walk all five Palm Island beaches in the morning (the perimeter loop takes about 90 minutes at slow pace) to find the cove you like best. Most couples land on Casuarina or Palm Beach for the rest of the week. All-inclusive lunch at the Casuarina Beach Bar, afternoon snorkeling from Hibiscus on the windward side (the inland reef is excellent and shallow), sunset cocktails back at Casuarina.
Tobago Cays Day Sail
Palm Island runs a weekly catamaran day-sail to the Tobago Cays — the protected marine park with resident sea turtles and the best snorkel in the southern Caribbean. Lunch on the boat, swim with the turtles, return to Palm Island by sundown. The Tobago Cays day is the single most worthwhile excursion on the island and the one most repeat guests build into every trip.
Spa Day & Beach Picnic
Morning at the Palm Island spa — small treatment building set back in the trees with the signature coconut and aloe massage. Afternoon a private beach picnic on Palm Beach (the most secluded beach on the island) — the resort drops you with a hamper and beach chairs and collects you at sunset. Dinner under the stars on the Casuarina Beach terrace.
Mopion Sandbar Visit
Optional half-day excursion to the Mopion sandbar — the tiny uninhabited sand cay with a single thatched umbrella, 15 minutes from Palm Island by boat. Most resorts in the southern Grenadines arrange the Mopion trip and it is the most photographed lunch spot in the region. Couples can also use the day for the Happy Island bar at Clifton on Union Island.
Kayak, Snorkel & Final Sunset
All Palm Island's water sports (kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, Hobie Cats) are included. A morning kayak around the south point of the island, lunch at the Sunset Beach Bar, an afternoon nap on Casuarina, and the final sunset at the west-tip of the island — the best sundown view in the southern Grenadines on a clear evening.
Final Morning & Departure
A last breakfast on the Casuarina terrace, a final swim, and the resort launch back to Union Island. The SVG Air flight to Barbados is a 90-minute hop with aerial views of the southern Grenadines. International flights from BGI depart late afternoon for comfortable connections home.
Evaluación honesta
Lo que debe saber antes de reservar
Palm Island is adults-only with a minimum age of 18 — couples travelling with teenagers should book Young Island Resort or The Cotton House Mustique instead.
Access is via Union Island (UNI) — the SVG Air or Mustique Airways scheduled flight from Barbados (BGI) is 90 minutes. Schedules are subject to weather; build a buffer night in Barbados at either end.
The all-inclusive covers meals, soft drinks, house wines and most spirits, water sports and non-motorised gear. Premium wines, motorised boat excursions (Tobago Cays, Mopion), spa and diving are extra. Plan a realistic excursion budget.
Palm Island typically closes from early September through October for hurricane season. Confirm exact reopening dates when booking the November shoulder.

FAQ
Preguntas frecuentes
Good for honeymooners?
Palm Island is one of the best-value private-island honeymoons in the Caribbean — strictly adults-only, five empty beaches, 41 cottages on 135 acres, all-inclusive food and drink, and the southern Grenadines' standard catamaran sail to the Tobago Cays. Couples wanting privacy and zero decision-making at a lower price point than PSV or The Cotton House make this their pick.
Palm Island or Petit St Vincent?
PSV is more luxurious, more remote, more expensive, with stand-alone cottages and the flag-signal service; Palm Island is all-inclusive (PSV is full board only), smaller cottages on the beach rather than spread headlands, and far more accessible price-wise. Couples wanting the apex private-island experience pick PSV; couples wanting the same southern Grenadines geography at a third less cost pick Palm Island.
Best time to visit?
Mid-December through April is peak dry season — sunny, breezy, calm channel crossings from Union Island. Christmas and New Year book 6 to 9 months ahead. May and June are excellent shoulder months. Palm Island closes from September through October for hurricane season.
Best room category?
Beachfront Palm View Cottage on Casuarina Beach is the honeymoon standard — toes-in-sand access, four-poster bed, west-facing sunset terrace. Plantation Suites are the upgrade for slightly larger floor plans. Island Loft Suites have second-floor views. Book 4 to 6 months ahead for any beachfront category in peak.
Adults-only?
Yes — Palm Island enforces an 18-and-over minimum age, the only true adults-only private island in the southern Grenadines. This is the property's defining honeymoon feature alongside the all-inclusive structure.
How to get there?
Barbados (BGI) is the gateway. SVG Air or Mustique Airways scheduled flights from BGI to Union Island (UNI), 90 minutes. Palm Island launches meet every flight at Union for the 10-minute boat transfer. International gateway flights to BGI from JFK, MIA, LHR/LGW and YYZ are direct.
