Union Island Location
Stay on Union Island in the Grenadines
Mer & Sel Villa & Suites is located on Union Island in St. Vincent & the Grenadines, close to Clifton, beaches, restaurants, kitesurfing, Mayreau views, and island boat trips.
Why Stay on Union Island
A grounded base for the Southern Grenadines.
Union Island is small, direct, and useful for guests who want villa comfort without losing access to the water. The island has its own airport, local restaurants and shops around Clifton, beaches and viewpoints, and boat access to the islands that make this part of the Grenadines so distinctive.
The island is open and rebuilding after Hurricane Beryl. Some areas still show signs of damage, but local operators, restaurants, beaches, views, and the water are ready for guests who want a real island stay and who value local businesses.
Nearby Islands and Boat Trips
Mayreau, Palm Island, and Southern Grenadines boat days.
Mer & Sel is on Union Island, not inside the Tobago Cays. Guests can ask about private island boat trips when weather and availability are suitable.
Tobago Cays
A boat-day focus for clear water, reefs, turtles, small islands, and Marine Park scenery.
Mayreau
Visible from the property and often paired with Tobago Cays or Salt Whistle Bay on private excursions.
Palm Island Area
A nearby low island setting with pale sand, coconut trees, calm water, and custom Southern Grenadines itineraries.
Close to Clifton, Beaches & Restaurants
Restaurants, shops, beaches, and viewpoints within reach.
Clifton is the practical center of the island, with docks, restaurants, bars, small shops, local services, and the main places guests use during a stay. Ashton is quieter on the other side of the island, while Big Sand, Kite Beach, Chatham Bay, Bloody Bay walks, and the Fort above Clifton give easy day-to-day variety.
There is a bank and ATM in Clifton, but small-island services can be irregular, so guests should arrive with practical plans and confirm restaurants, transport, and activities before travel.
Near Kite Beach and JT Pro Center
Kitesurfing is nearby, but the stay is not defined by it.
Union Island is known for kitesurfing and wingfoiling, and Mer & Sel guests can ask about lessons or rentals through local partner schools. The property itself remains a luxury villa and suite base, suitable for kiters as well as guests who simply want a private Union Island stay.
Getting to Union Island
Plan local connections before international flights are final.
Union Island is in St. Vincent & the Grenadines and has a local airport. Guests usually route through Barbados or St. Vincent, then connect by inter-island flight, ferry, or private transfer depending on current schedules and weather.

A simple upgrade that changes the stay.
Union Island is best explored by golf cart. For Mer & Sel guests, golf cart rental is available separately and should be requested early, especially for stays that include restaurants, beaches, viewpoints, Clifton evenings, and boat departures.

Stay at Mer & Sel
Union Island villa accommodation with the island still close.
Mer & Sel gives guests a quieter home base without separating them from Union Island life. The villa and suites are private enough for slow mornings, work calls, family meals, and sunset drinks, while Clifton, beaches, kitesurfing, restaurants, docks, and boat days remain part of the stay.
Guests choosing between the upstairs villa and downstairs suites can think first about how much space they want. The private villa is the full-residence option with two bedrooms, a custom kitchen, living room, BBQ, and larger patio areas. The suites are independent rooms with private entrances, patios, and a small kitchen shared only between the two downstairs suites.
