Palm Island is a small private island in the Grenadines, part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, known primarily as a private resort destination. It is notable for its seclusion and resort facilities rather than for large-scale public infrastructure.

The island offers sandy beaches, coral-fringed snorkeling sites and resort accommodation concentrated in a compact footprint. Day trips and boat transfers from nearby inhabited islands are the usual way visitors arrive; on-island facilities are oriented to guests rather than transient public tourism.

The island was developed for tourism and has operated as a private resort in the modern era. Ownership and management have changed over time as it has functioned as an exclusive hospitality property rather than a public park.

Geographically it sits in the southern Grenadines, close to Union Island in Grenadines Parish of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and is reached by private boat or scheduled charter transfers from nearby islands and inter-island services.

  • Access: Reached by short boat transfers from nearby islands such as Union Island; there is no public bridge connection to the main islands.
