Cotton House

The Cotton House is the only hotel on the island of Mustique, one of the most beautiful and exclusive islands in the Caribbean. And with only 15 rooms and 4 suites, it is quite a small hotel indeed. That's because most people who come here own their own homes, and the hotel is for the most part intended for friends of friends. Formerly the property of Lord Glenconner, Mustique evolved since the 1960s as a haven for English aristocrats and their families. Today it has become slightly more democratic, as it allows in commoners like David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Tommy Hilfiger. Getting a room at the Cotton House, a former 18th-century warehouse, is not impossible, if you book early enough, but it helps to know someone. But once you come down, it is easy to make friends and it's a place you'll want to return for the rest of your life--if you can afford to.
