Les Jolies Eaux, Mustique Island, St Vincent and the Grenadines O ccupying a private peninsula on the southern tip of the island, this magnificent villa was designed by Oliver Messel for HRHPrincess Margaret, Countess of Snowden, in 1971. The 10-acre manor, whose name translates to “Beautiful Waters,” features five en-suite bedrooms, two swimming pools (one 40ft and another 16ft), panoramic views of the Atlantic and a retinue of private help including a butler, maid, housekeeper and gardener. If guests become weary of the 26 degree weather or Mustique’s seven pristine beaches, they have the option of whiling away the hours feasting on gastronomic masterpieces prepared by in-villa chef, Judi Duncan—a classically trained private chef who has worked at the home for decades creating sumptuous meals with the finest of ingredients either flown onto the island or caught fresh from the surrounding waters. From sushi to torchlit barbecue served under the stars, each dish is a match made in heaven. As well as providing a refuge for Princess Margaret, Mustique's obsession with privacy has made the island a haven for present day celebrities, royals and tycoons alike; however, despite its multi-million dollar guest list the island remains quaintly primitive with inhabitants travelling around in small golf carts, which must stop if one of the island's native red-footed tortoises are crossing in front of them. With no streetlights, traffic lights, ATMs or golf courses, the dress code calls for bare feet. mustique-island.com
