About the Development

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.

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.

Situated on the southwest coast of St Vincent, Buccament Bay Beach Resort is a 15 minute drive from both the existing and proposed airports. The wide bay enjoys the calm waters of the Caribbean Sea and is an ideal location for snorkelling and diving.

Built to the highest specification and offering state-of-the-art facilities it will be the first luxurious 5 Star family-oriented resort on St Vincent. The target audience is wealthy tourists who may currently stay at 4 & 5 Star hotels on other Caribbean islands.

Buccament Bay Beach Resort will be managed and maintained to the highest standard by world-class hotel company. They are confident in providing the highest standards of quality, style and comfort for guests. The resort will also benefit from the efficiency of their global booking system and established online presence which will ensure maximum occupancy throughout the year.

One of the world's leading architects and designers of hotels is blending Italian style with contemporary Caribbean influences to create a stunning 5 Star resort that is modern yet reflects the warmth and charm of this wonderful Caribbean island.

The building of the resort is well underway and the opening is scheduled for summer 2010.

Apartments, Cabanas, Plantation Villas and Waters Edge Apartments

Located within the extensive tropical gardens of Buccament Bay, the villas and apartments are constructed to the highest specifications, using the best quality local materials – tiles, stone and timber from sustainable sources – with oriental-style architecture to provide contemporary and spacious living accommodation.

All the villas and apartments are fully furnished with stylish, modern simplicity, featuring stone tile floors and hand crafted Caribbean mahogany furniture.

Island Spa Villas

Each of the luxurious villas will have its own private grounds and will be surrounded by channels of fresh water and tropical planting. Designed and built to the highest specification the villa will offer elegant and spacious accommodation.

The interior will combine oriental-style simplicity and contemporary luxury with air conditioning, a bar, a state-of-the-art media centre with a flat screen television plus an interactive entertainment system with internet access. Bathrooms will be elegantly appointed with a multi-spray shower and an outdoor rain-shower; beds will be large and sumptuous with crisp white bed linen.

The glass walls of the villa will slide back to provide an extended living area opening onto a terrace with a sunken double bath and an infinity-edge swimming pool. It will offer shade for a siesta, a massage or an intimate after dark dinner and will have parabolic speakers linked to the villa’s entertainment system.

The Galleon Restaurant

The Western coast of St Vincent is no stranger to having its beauty portrayed on film, the Disney films 'Pirates of the Caribbean' were shot in the next bay along from Buccament Bay and the third is currently being shot on the island and is due for release later this year. St Vincent will undoubtedly benefit from a greater public awareness with these major releases.

In keeping with The Pirates of The Caribbean theme, we have commissioned a ‘pirate galleon’ to be built and moored in Buccament Bay. The Galleon will be used as a floating restaurant for the sole use of the Buccament Bay Resort.

The vessel will be 38m long, with an 8m beam. She will have a gun deck, main deck and poop deck, and two masts. Although she will be rigged ‘gaff’ style (i.e with the sails in line with the boat) for the voyage, her main masts and square-rigging will be erected when she reaches St Vincent. Construction is being carried out in the traditional hand-built method used in Indonesia for centuries, on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, which is one of the last places on earth that ships of this size are still built from solid timber.

Construction started in February of this Year, and the expected launch date is November, although much of the finishing work will take several more months, and will be done partly on the 5-month voyage to the Caribbean, and partly on site at Buccament Bay.

It is also worth noting that, although we refer to this vessel as a ‘pirate galleon’, there really was no such thing. The pirates of 17th & 18th century in this area used whatever vessels they could get their hands on, (mostly stolen) and usually went for smaller, faster vessels than this one. However, the common perception nowadays of a pirate ship is based upon the ‘black pearl’ from the movie.
