Mustique does not offer a long list of organised attractions — that is part of the point. What it offers is the beach, the water, and a pace of life slow enough that doing nothing feels earned rather than lazy.
The Mustique Watersports Centre rents snorkel gear, stand-up paddleboards, and windsurfing equipment, and runs scuba diving excursions for certified divers and intro dives for beginners. The reef around the island is in good condition and the water visibility is excellent.
Horseback riding along the island's trails is popular and can be arranged through the Cotton House. The tracks wind through vegetation and along cliff edges with views over the Grenadines.
The Mustique Tennis Club has courts available to villa renters and Cotton House guests. The island's topography makes it genuinely scenic — several villas have their own courts perched on hillsides.
Sailing and day trips to neighbouring Grenadine islands can be arranged through local captains. Bequia is the closest neighbour with its own distinct character and is easily reached by boat.
For anyone who wants to understand the island's peculiar history, a slow drive around on a rented golf buggy is genuinely rewarding — the architecture ranges from traditional Caribbean cottages to outlandish personal fantasies, all tucked into the hillside vegetation, very few visible from the road.
