The island is located within Grenadines Parish, an administrative area of the country. The closest nearby island is Petite Mustique, located 1 mile south of Mustique, which is uninhabited and was the center of a real estate scam in the early 2000s. The island covers {{convert|1400|acre|km2 sqmi}} and it has several coral reefs. The land fauna includes tortoises, herons, iguanas, and many other species. Its year-round population of about 500 mostly live in the villages of Lovell, Britannia Bay, and Dover.The island is owned by the Mustique Company, which is in turn owned by the island's home owners. The island has approximately 100 private villas, many of which are rented out through the Mustique Company. In addition, there is one hotel called the Cotton House, which is owned by the Mustique Company, and one privately owned seven-bedroom hotel called Firefly.==Early history==The history of the island of Mustique, and of the Grenadines in general, dates back to the 15th century, when Spanish sailors first sighted this more or less linear group of small rocky islands and named them "Los Pájaros" or "the birds", because they resembled a small flock of birds scattered across the sea in flight. During the 17th century the islands were renamed the Grenadines by pirates, who used the sheltered bays to hide their ships and treasure. The name Mustique comes from the French moustique, "mosquito". The islands were later used by European planters to grow sugar cane. This lucrative industry lasted until the 19th century, when the extraction of sugar from European-grown sugar beet dramatically lessened the worldwide demand for tropical sugar.Mustique's sugar plantations were abandoned and eventually swallowed up by scrub, leaving remnants such as the sugar mill at "Endeavor" and its "Cotton House". The Plantation House was built in the 18th century.==Later history==Mustique was purchased in 1958 by The Hon. Colin Tennant, who became The 3rd Baron Glenconner in 1983, under whose guidance the island began to be developed. In 1960, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, the sister of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, accepted as a wedding present his gift of a {{convert|10|acre|m2|adj=on}} plot of land, where she built a residence called Les Jolies Eaux. In 1979, Mustique Island was transformed from a family estate into a private limited company with the homeowners as shareholders.{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}}In 1971, the {{SS|Antilles}}, referred to locally as the Antilles Pack Boat, struck a reef not far off of the island and sank.{{cite web|url=http://www.simplyscuba.com/ShipwreckShow.aspx?ShipwreckID=19|title=The Antilles, Malta|last=Middleton|first=Ned|website=Simply Scuba|archive-url=//web.archive.org/web/20120904130452/http://www.simplyscuba.com/ShipwreckShow.aspx?ShipwreckID=19|archive-date=2012-09-04|accessdate=2014-11-07}} 2. ^*history-of-mustique| History-of-mustique 3. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.ibtimes.com/mustique-island-kate-middletons-caribbean-retreat-photos-video-709455 | title=Mustique Island: Kate Middleton’s Caribbean Retreat | website=International Business Times | date=23 January 2012 | author=Mark Johanson}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1211648/Hes-king-Mustique-barman-knows-secrets-Winehouse-Jagger--hes-going-tell-.html | title=He's the king of Mustique, the barman who knows the secrets of everyone from Winehouse to Jagger - but now he's going to tell all... | website=Mail Online | date=7 September 2009 | author=Wendy Leigh}} 5. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2273847/Duke-Duchess-Cambridge-jet-19k-week-Caribbean-villa-holiday-Kates-baby-arrives.html | title=Kate's off for a babymoon: Duke and Duchess jet off to £19,000-a-week Caribbean villa on final holiday before baby arrives | website=Mail Online | date=5 February 2013 | author=Rebecca English}} 6. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/02/05/kate-feels-well-enough-to-fly-to-mustique.html | title=Kate Feels Well Enough to Fly ...
