It also offers one of the finest investment opportunities in recent years with prices a quarter of those in neighbouring St Lucia and Barbados.

St Vincent is a stunningly beautiful Caribbean country that has remained largely unspoilt from the ravages of tourism. Up until recently, there has not been a major international airport on the island and country has been able to remain an exclusive and relatively undiscovered jewel of the Caribbean.

Historically, St Vincent has been an agricultural nation, with bananas as its main. However, having recently lost its subsidies for banana production, the country is now looking for new income streams, with tourism being the obvious next step considering the incredible popularity of its neighbours.

Peace

A new International airport, which is scheduled for completion in 2011 and the English Cricket team playing their warm up games on the island during the 2007 Caribbean World Cup have fuelled an interest in St Vincent and as such the government have spearheaded this ambitious and remarkable project.

There is no capital gains tax in St Vincent and due to the government initiative to increase tourism on the island, there will be no income tax due on profits for twenty years from completion.

Tranquillity

'Buccament Bay Resort' will nestle in the beautiful bay of the same name. The resort is superbly positioned on the Western coast with the existing Airport at Kingstown an approximate 20 minute drive with flights from Barbados, Antigua, Grenada, St Lucia and Tobago. The proposed Airport at Argyle to the south east will be a further 60 minute drive. This will then make the island’s airport facilities similar to that of St Lucia.

. Experienced Caribbean lovers will be aware that on neighbouring islands, West coast properties command a substantial premium as they boast the quieter, more sedate waters of the Caribbean sea as opposed to the Atlantic.


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


The finished resort will have a mixture of properties, from studio apartments to four bedroom villas residing in their own landscaped grounds. Facilities will include a gymnasium, full hotel facilities, pools, spa and casino.

Lifestyle

The completion of the resort is scheduled for 2008 and will consist of 160 one and two bedroom Cabanas (Villas) including eight plantation houses, all with their own plunge pools and veranda. The resort will also have two apartment buildings, and owners in building 2 can choose not to enter their properties into the rental pool and use them all year round.

An 18 hole golf course is planned just 10 minutes away and there are plans for the renovation of the existing golf course behind Buccament Bay
