Mustique Icon

Assouline's coffee table book "Mustique Icon" takes readers on an unforgettable journey. In the book, readers discover unmissable sights on the tropical island in the Caribbean through author Dylan Jones, known for his writings in The New York Times.

Mustique, a private resort in the Caribbean, is a modest island when it comes to aesthetics and size (less than three square miles). But when it comes to its guests, it is anything but modest. First developed in the mid-20th century by Scottish aristocrat Colin Tennant, the island has since attracted a host of celebrities, from Princess Margaret to rock legends such as Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

Thanks to a policy banning paparazzi, stars can retreat to this pristine paradise. Mustique Icon immerses readers in this signature atmosphere of barefoot luxury. Beyond the turquoise shores and fragrant frangipani, Mustique's magic lies in the rare balance between exclusivity and relaxation. The days pass at a leisurely pace: horseback riding along the beach, watching the sunset or picnicking on Macaroni Beach.

Iconic villas tucked among the hills, both traditional and modern in design, all highlight the natural splendor of the island. Mustique's close-knit community, made up of locals and loyal visitors, provides a warmth you won't find anywhere else. With sunrise swims in the Caribbean Sea, long lunches at the Cotton House and moonlight cocktails at Basil's Bar, sun worshippers and relaxation seekers can always find a place to enjoy the island's secluded elegance.
