Mayreau is a gem nestled within the 32-island archipelago known as The Grenadines, which is part of the country of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). The best way to get here is to fly to Barbados Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI). Barbados has the largest selection of international flights, and a decent selection of direct flights from the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

Once you book your international flight to Barbados, (BGI), we will deal with all the other logistics, including booking your SVG Air flight to Union Island. Please note that you must arrive in Barbados no later than 3PM and depart Barbados after 2PM when you leave. We will meet you on your arrival and take care of your luggage and ongoing travel, there is no need to go through immigration or baggage claim. Your next stop will be the short flight to Union Island. From there, our boat will take you on a 15-minute ride to Windward Mayreau Resort.

Salt Whistle Bay is just a five-minute stroll down the beach. Tobago Cays is a 15-minute boat ride — we are happy to arrange this for you.

The Caribbean region, including Saint Vincent and the Grenadines where Mayreau is located, is part of the Atlantic hurricane belt. The official hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 each year. However, the frequency and severity of hurricanes affecting a specific area can vary greatly yearly.

Historically, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines have been less affected by hurricanes compared to some other Caribbean nations. This is partly due to its location towards the southern end of the Caribbean.

This property is not a condominium in the traditional sense. Instead, it's a unique blend of individual property ownership and shared community responsibilities, similar to a condominium with a homeowners association (HOA).

When you purchase one of these oceanfront bungalows, you acquire an approximately 2,000-square-foot lot with its own recorded deed. However, this deed includes covenants (agreements) referencing the service and maintenance terms and conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) you'd find in a condominium community.

So while you have the independence of owning your property, you also have the assurance that the community's standards and amenities will be maintained to a high level, much like in a condominium community. It's a unique approach that combines the best of both worlds.

Our bungalows showcase a design inspired by the barefoot luxury of Tulum, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and comfort. They come fully equipped with custom furniture, handcrafted from reclaimed teak in Indonesia. The flooring is made from engineered French Oak wood, adding a touch of rustic warmth.

The windows and expansive sliding doors, crafted from reclaimed teak, open to a deck protected from the rain. The deck is made from a unique, eco-friendly bamboo hardwood known for its exceptional durability.

Many of the interior items are handcrafted in Bali, adding a touch of authenticity and “castaway island charm”. The kitchenettes, while compact, are designed for functionality and ease of use. The bungalow's construction is energy-efficient and fully insulated, reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.

After the initial construction phase and the resort's opening, we have a clear roadmap for Windward Mayreau's future. Our vision is to cultivate a modern island community where owners and guests can seamlessly blend life, work, and leisure in a tropical paradise. Here's a glimpse into our thinking:

Wellness Center: We're designing a small wellness center featuring a yoga studio, a gym, and massage facilities.

Convenient Transfers: We recognize getting to Mayreau from the main airport (SVD) is inconvenient. So, we're actively researching more efficient transfer methods, including chartering small planes and introducing electric water taxis. Electric air taxis are also on our radar.

More Bungalows: We're exploring one and two-bedroom bungalows. These can accommodate families and longer-term residents. Our existing property owners will be given priority to buy these new units.

Sustainable Vertical Farm: We have been researching greenhouses and vertical farms to grow fresh produce using hydroponic towers. We’re serious about farm-to-table, even if we need to build our own farm!

Community Investment: At the heart of Windward Mayreau is our aspiration to be a "regenerative resort." This means we're dedicated to making Mayreau even better than we found it, protecting its environment and investing in the community. We collaborate with local residents to understand areas of greatest need, including health care, education, vocational training, waste management, and small business development.
