Young Island Resort, the most northerly of the Grenadine chain of islands, is a privately owned, luxury 13 acre tropical island located 200 yards from St. Vincent's southern shores. Legend has it that 150 years ago the Caribs -- the original inhabitants of the region -- traded the island for a stallion owned by the then British Administrator, Governor Young, hence the origin of the island's name.

Young Island was eventually developed into a luxury resort some 30 years ago by John Houser of the Hilton Group before, in 1974, ownership eventually moved to its current Vincentians owners: Mr. Vidal Browne and Dr. Fred Ballantyne.
