Getting there

Planes

Fly British Airways (www.britishairways.com) or Virgin Atlantic (www.virgin-atlantic.com) to Barbados | then fly onwards with Grenadine Airways (www.grenadineairways.com) on a 50-minute scheduled flight | or charter a private plane with Mustique Airways (www.mustique.com) or SVG Air (www.svgair.com). Arrangements can be made through the Cotton House.

Boats

To charter your own yacht, ring the hotel to arrange in advance – they have some 50 boats on file.

Automobiles

The only mode of transport on Mustique is the mule – a souped-up 4x4 golf buggy | costing from $50 a day. They are very popular and there is only a limited number to go around | so book well in advance (ask the hotel). If you book the Cotton Hill Residence | your mule will be included in the rate.
