| INFO & THINGS TO DO St Vincent & The Grenadines |
St Vincent & The Grenadines are a chain of more than thirty small islands and cays known as the Jewels of the Caribbean.
Situated at the lower end of the Windward Islands in the Caribbean Sea between St Lucia to the north, Grenada to the south and 100 miles west of Barbados, they are close to the Equator and enjoy a steady tropical climate year-round.
St Vincent is the largest and most populated island of the 32 St Vincent & the Grenadines islands and cays. It is part of the Windward Island chain in the Southern Caribbean region and lies 100 miles west of Barbados.
The Buccament Bay Beach Resort is situated on the southwest coast of St Vincent and is a 15 minute drive from both the existing and proposed airports.
The island of St Vincent is an authentic and beautifully unspoilt tropical paradise. Blessed with rich, fertile soil the island is cloaked in lush, tropical rainforest where banana and coconut palms grow and is also home to the colourful St Vincent parrot. Crystal clear rivers and streams tumble down from the majestic mountainous peaks in the north of the island, forming spectacular waterfalls such as the Falls of Baleine which drop to a huge, rock-lined pool formed by the Falls. Trinity Falls descends in three cascades into a circular pool, then drops another ten feet into a second pool perfect for swimming. Dark View Falls in the forest-clad Richmond Valley on the North West of the island, is actually two separate falls in step formation, an uncommon feature for one site, with elevations of up to 229 feet.
Abundant reef-life, normally found at 80-ft in most dive destinations around the world, flourishes in shallow-water reefs along the coast at depths of only 25-ft, with an extraordinary variety of tropical reef fish such as angelfish, sergeant majors and peacock flounder, making it perfect for snorkelling.
The Sailing in St Vincent and The Grenadines is some of the best in the Caribbean and the world. In 2005, for the second consecutive year, it was awarded the 2005 “BEST SAILING & YACHTING ISLAND OF THE YEAR” from Caribbean World. While at sea you may see dolphins and whales, six types of dolphin are found in Vincentian waters, including spinner, spotted, Fraser and bottlenose. Orcas and pilot whales can also be observed.

Just about a month after a symbolic blasting in the hills signalled the groundbreaking of the Argyle International Airport, the Prime Minister operated a bulldozer to commence earthworks for the first kilometre of the runway.
Great Investment Opportunity:
• St Vincent is a new tourist destination, mostly visited by day trippers from ocean cruisers. It is beautifully unspoilt and underdeveloped and has huge potential for growth, which has been acknowledged and is supported by the government
• Sunny weather all year round makes it an ideal holiday destination at any time
• Property prices are currently a quarter of those in Barbados so now is the perfect time for an early investment in this market as prices will rise when the resort opens as the island becomes more popular due to the increase in visitors.
• St Vincent operates a favourable taxation regime for international entities which are not subject to tax under the country’s laws. There is no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and no tax on dividends. Capital and profits may be freely repatriated up to a limit of US$100,000
