Spaced thoughtfully over a 1400-acre island preserve are 72
extraordinary houses, each tastefully reflecting the West Indies
environment of Mustique Island. Currently 46 of these houses are
available for occupancy by discriminating guests who would enjoy
hillside and seascape surroundings of great natural beauty.
Liability
Each house is a private home and is made available for use of
guests by the Mustique Company Ltd. (the 'Company) as agent for the
owner. Because the houses are privately owned, the decor and
amenities of individual houses may vary, and are subject to change.
Each house is fully staffed by its owner with a cook/maid and
gardener and, in many instances, additional personnel. Each house
includes a jeep or similar vehicle - additional vehicles are
available for hire. The household staff are employees of the house's
owner and not of the Company. Neither the Company nor its agents
shall be liable for any damages arising in connection with the
services provided by any household staff member or the facilities
provided by any owner, including damages arising in connection with
the use of vehicles made available for use by guests.
Neither the owner nor the Company or its agents shall be liable
for injury or damage to a guest or to any person who uses or is in
the house, or be liable for damage to their property, except to the
extent that such damages are the direct result of the owner's or the
Company's negligence. Each guest is responsible for all acts of the
guest's family and all other persons the guest invites into the
house.
Guests must keep the house and all appliances, equipment,
furniture, furnishings and other personal property supplied therewith
clean and in good order and repair. Failure to do so will entitle the
owner, or the Company on behalf of the owner, to make appropriate
repairs at the guest's expense. However, guests are not responsible
for ordinary wear or damage by the elements. Guests must give the
Company immediate notice in case of fire or other damage to the house
or contents.
Deposits
Reservations must be accompanied at the time of booking by a 10%
deposit. However, a reservation cannot be confirmed until 8 months

non-refundable. A further payment of 40% is required 6 months prior
to the date of arrival and becomes nonrefundable 3 months prior to
the date of arrival. The remaining 50% of the rental is due 2 months
prior to the date of arrival and is completely nonrefundable.
Deposits are refundable only if notice of cancellation is received in
