Basil's Bar
$$
Basil's is the place to be—only partly because it's just about the only place to be in Mustique. Basil Charles's landmark property, reimagined by designer Philippe Starck in 2018, is still mainly a wooden deck perched on bamboo stilts over the waves; there's a thatched roof, a congenial bar, and a dance floor that's open to the stars—in every sense. You never know what celebrity may show up at the next table. The food is simple and good—mostly seafood (line-caught and sustainably fished), house-made ice cream, burgers, flatbread pizzas, and salads, along with the usual cocktails and bar snacks. Wednesday is Jump Up & Barbecue Night, with live music; Sunday, enjoy cocktails and jazz as the sun goes down.
