Young Island is everyone's dream with 35 acres that is virtually a tropical garden. The trees are in fruit and flowers are everywhere. White ginger, hibiscus, crotons, and ferns, to name a few, are sheltered under tall palms, giant almonds, mango, coffee, nutmeg, flamboyant and breadfruit trees.
The delightful tropical accommodations are all in cottages with a refrigerator, wall safe, ceiling fans, king bed (twins on request), open air garden showers and private patio. Superior cottages are nearest the beach, shoreline, and low on the hillside. Deluxe cottages feature large rooms with a sitting area within the bedroom, or they have a very large private patio. Hillside Luxury suites have a bedroom, sitting room, and large terrace. Beachside Luxury suites have a bedroom, sitting room, and large terrace with a plunge pool and gazebo.
Dining at Young Island under romantic thatched kiosks near the beach or in the dining room surrounded by tropical gardens is a memorable experience. Several nights a week, guests enjoy elegant buffets prepared by the award winning chefs. Fresh fruits and vegetables are abundant, along with gourmet selections featuring fish, beef, pork, and chicken. Breakfast offers such delights as flaming rum French Toast and outstanding cheese omelets. As a special treat and one that Young Island is world famous for - each meal offers six loaves of freshly baked bread from the kitchen - white, coconut, banana, raisin, cinnamon, and wheat.
Hammocks hang under thatched roofs for reading and napping in the shade. The cooling trade winds are ever constant and enjoyed too for sailing and windsurfing. Windsurfers, small sailboats, glass bottom boat, snorkels, masks and flippers are available at no charge. Scuba diving is readily available for the beginner or pro at rates charged locally.
Just off shore is the "Coconut Bar" where drinks are served in fresh coconuts, guaranteed to taste like "one more", before the swim back to shore.
