Let Erika’s take care of the details – travel, bookings, land transportation – in short, all the headaches.
VILLA TAMARIND
On Palm Island you will find sugar white sand beaches, an abundance of coconut palms, peace, tranquility and the perfect location for that relaxing getaway you have been promising yourself. Also on the island are an exclusive resort and a few select private houses scattered along the sun drenched shores. Located in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, in the Windward Islands of the Caribbean Sea, this special place is adjacent to Union Island, the gateway into which guests arrive from other lands by plane or yacht.
Tamarind, unlike most of the houses on Palm Island, is set high above the sea. Steps carved into the cliff carry you up to the breezy house, where you can easily forget the world exists. The beach is directly below, with the same fabulous swimming that is found island-wide.
Tamarind boasts a modern, well-equipped kitchen. Two full sized fridges, a well organized workspace and lots of preparation area, as well as both 220V and 110V electrical outlets throughout make this kitchen a dream to work in. It has all the appliances you could wish for. Two bedrooms with well equipped ensuite bathrooms make this house suitable for two couples or a family. Outside is a terrace and small container garden with shrubs and flowers. Beach and lounge chairs as well as casual dining table for alfresco dining are all in place for your enjoyment.

Activities
