Mustique /mʌˈstk/ is a 2,470 hectares (6,100 acres) private island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is part of the Grenadines, a chain of islands in the West Indies. The island is located within Grenadines Parish, and the closest island is the uninhabited Petite Mustique, located 2 km (1.2 mi) to the south.

The island's year-round population of about 500 live mostly in the villages of Lovell, Britannia Bay and Dovers. The population rises to 1,200 in peak season. Ferry service is provided to the island from Saint Vincent on the M/V Endeavour.[2]

The island is owned by the Mustique Company, a private limited company which is in turn owned by the island's homeowners. The island has about 120 private villas, many of which are let through the Mustique Company.[3] The company also owns a hotel and cafe on the island.[4][5]
