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.

Mustique, a private island in the Caribbean, is known for its exclusivity and luxurious offerings, making it a popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers looking for privacy and a high-end experience. While Mustique itself is not specifically known for LGBTQ+ tourism, it offers a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The island is part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where same-sex sexual activity has been legal since 2001, offering a level of legal protection not found in many other Caribbean destinations.
While St. Vincent and the Grenadines does not yet recognize same-sex marriage, LGBTQ+ couples can still have a symbolic ceremony on Mustique, with the legal formalities handled in their home country. The island’s exclusivity and seclusion make it a perfect setting for private and intimate weddings, offering a high level of discretion and respect for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Mustique’s luxury resorts and villas are known for their discretion and hospitality, ensuring that LGBTQ+ travelers have a safe and enjoyable experience. While some areas in the Caribbean may have more conservative attitudes toward LGBTQ+ rights, Mustique stands out as a progressive and welcoming destination, providing a peaceful, private escape with beautiful beaches and upscale accommodations. It remains an ideal place for LGBTQ+ couples seeking a memorable, inclusive, and luxurious getaway.
