Description: Palm Island is a 135-acre private haven in The Grenadines. It is reached via a 45-minute flight from Barbados to neighbouring Union Island, followed by an 8-minute ride by private launch. A tranquil hideaway of untouched natural surroundings boasting five white sand beaches. Accommodation comprises of rooms, suites and cottages located on the beachfront or within the swaying coconut palms. The rooms do not feature telephones or TVs, leaving all the more time to lounge in a hammock at the beach, indulge in a massage, dip in the freshwater pool or play a game of tennis. Activities centre around the beach and sea, with plenty of watersports available or take a day-trip to the Tobago Cays for some spectacular snorkelling or scuba diving. Discover the Island with panoramic walking trails which show off indigenous iguanas and interesting birdlife. Slow down and recharge your batteries at this all-inclusive getaway.
