Information for guests travelling through Barbados
Please note that all guests must spend a minimum of 5 nights on Mustique before traveling again nationally or internationally.
Guests travelling to Barbados from the UK will need to quarantine for 7 days upon arrival.
This does not apply to guests in-transit to Mustique, but we suggest travelling through St. Lucia as there is a longer window for testing (5 days compared to 3 days for Barbados) and the connection is much easier through the St. Lucia airport.
Pre-Travel
Before you set off for Mustique you need to do the following:
Book a Covid-19 PCR test at an accredited/certified laboratory within 3 days/72 hours of your date of departure.
Once you have your negative test result, print two copies of your certificate. You will need to travel with these.
N.B Children under three do not need to be tested.
Within 3 days of your departure you will need to complete:
Print a copy of each of these and travel with them.
Please email pcrresults@mustique.vc a copy of the negative PCR test, the Barbados Pre-Arrival Registration Confirmation Email and the VINCYCOVID form 48 hours prior to travel so we can arrange for pre-clearance into the country.
Your journey
Surgical masks are mandatory in all local airports and on the flights to and from Mustique, for all passengers 2 years old and older.
When you land in Barbados, you will need to clear both the Covid temperature checks and Customs, before awaiting your transfer to Mustique.
Arrival on Mustique
When you land on Mustique you will need to have a PCR test – once this has been completed you can travel up to your villa to await the results. You will receive the results within 48 hours. This is done entirely to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our residents, employees and guests. The cost is $100 US/person.
Once you have received your negative test result, there is no need to wear facemasks or gloves and guests free to enjoy the surroundings as per normal, whilst respecting social distancing.
Departing Mustique
You need a new negative Covid-19 PCR test certificate, taken within three days of your departure, for your journey home. The cost is $100 US/person.
If you are traveling on a private charter flight, you MUST must check your proposed dates with pcrresults@mustique.vc as we cannot guarantee a 72hr turnaround on PCR tests without prior approval of the flight times.
These PCR tests can be done by the clinic on island. The clinic will contact you when you are on island to arrange the test. You do not need to contact them.
In the unlikely event that you receive a positive PCR result while on island you will need to isolate in your villa at your own cost until a negative PCR is obtained.
Children under 3 do not need to be tested.
For those staying 7 days or less, the PCR test will be performed in place of the Rapid Antigen Swab test at the airport on arrival. The certificate will then be issued for your journey home.
