At a glance
Located on the beautiful Grenadine island of Mustique, the Cotton House is a world-renowned hotel, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea to the West and the Atlantic Ocean to the East. Mustique is one of the most exclusive private islands in the Caribbean and the Cotton House is its only full-service hotel.
Formerly the old cotton warehouse, the colonial-style Cotton House is the oldest building on the island. Converted by Oliver Messel in 1968, it has always been the island’s social hub, where owners and visitors mingle and entertain. Today, the laid-back island atmosphere is coupled with the services and facilities of a world-class boutique hotel, where guests have access to all island activities and facilities.
The Cotton House features a range of villa-style accommodations, providing seventeen charming rooms and suites, from the two-bedroomed residence with its own dedicated butler, a spacious sitting room, a dining area with an additional outdoor gazebo and private swimming pool – to deluxe seafront rooms with plunge pools, duplex and garden suites with plunge pools or garden cottages with private verandas. All the rooms are furnished in a plantation style and have a private patio, terrace, or wrap-around veranda from which to enjoy the views.
