Private and utterly unspoilt, this 135-acre beach-ringed island is one of a picture-book cluster of romantic little hideaways here in the Grenadine Islands of St Vincent. A 10-minute launch ride from Union Island (scheduled flights from Barbados) brings you to this exclusive haven long favoured by seasoned escapists, and whose exclusive All-Inclusive resort offers a supremely relaxing regime of barefoot informality in idyllic surroundings - but where air-conditioned comfort, delicious cuisine and impeccable service are integral pleasures of your stay. The 40 bungalows and Plantation Suites lie among palm trees and tropical gardens, with Beachfront rooms just yards from the beach. All have an authentic Caribbean feel, with louvred windows, ceiling fans and hand-crafted rattan furnishings, as well as a luxury bathroom, safe, minifridge and shaded terrace (but no telephones or television!). Island walks, tennis and watersports will help to sharpen your appetite - and Palm’s award-winning chefs will tempt your palate in the resort’s two informal restaurants. No children under 16 January - 31 March.
