Description
Barbados is the heart of the Caribbean and offers a vibrant and fun experience. Nestled away in beautiful gardens, Cobblers Cove gives you the opportunity to escape and unwind before heading out for whatever this exciting island has to offer. From fine dining to nightlife, golf to surfing, Barbados offers it all. Embrace the island at its best or simply laze away your days on a sun lounger in Cobbler's Coves beautiful garden. Don't forget to stay in at least one night and dine at the hotels Relais et Chateau restaurant in a wonderfully romantic setting on the waters edge.
After your stay in Barbados, take the 45 minute small aircraft flight over to Mustique.
Mustique is just over two square miles in size. With a population of just 500 people it’s one of the most exclusive private islands in the Caribbean. The Cotton House is Mustique’s only hotel; a hidden gem where you’ll enjoy wonderful peace and quiet, relaxation and superb luxury.
Carefully restored from the original 18th century coral warehouse and sugar mill, the hotel’s luxurious rooms are set in beautiful gardens. And with tennis courts, a gorgeous spa, diving centre, pool and renowned restaurant on hand, you might be forgiven for never leaving the hotel grounds.
But you must, to explore Mustique’s sheltered coves. Once used by pirates to hide treasure, these days the island’s coast is more often frequented by tortoises, tropical birds, sun-seekers, divers and yachtsmen. Stretch out on the beach, circle the island on a boat trip, go fishing or jump in for some scuba diving.
The hotel welcomes both couples and families and the island itself is a wonderful playground to explore at your leisure. There are no cars on the island, just small local mule 4-seat vehicles which you can rent to get around.
Cobblers Cove and The Cotton House compliment each other wonderfully, offering an ideal Caribbean diversity and leaving you feeling refreshed and revived
