The
Old Fort
This intimate castle-like estate house is ideal
for individual travellers and romantic couples. Cool and breezy, The Old
Fort commands the best views of nearby Mustique and the Grenadine Islands.
Set on thirty acres of tropical grounds, our five intimate holiday rooms
provide hard-to-find classic old world ambiance in a beautiful, natural
setting.
The design of the renovated Old Fort, formerly a defendable plantation house
in the historic French style, is outstanding. Selected in the eighteenth
century for strategic rather than purely esthetic reasons, the promontory
estate site today provides its guests with breathtaking views encompassing
dozens of islands.
Whether it be well groomed tropical gardens, a swimming pool with a view, or
evening firelight from the dining room's fireplace flickering on stone
walls, guests will find the elegant old world charm of The Old Fort a rare
find.
