Our Ultimate Guide on How to Get to Bequia
✈️ Dreaming of Bequia but unsure how to get here?
Nestled in the heart of the Grenadines archipelago, Bequia is a hidden gem that feels worlds away from the ordinary. Known for its laid-back charm, pristine beaches, and warm Caribbean welcome, it’s the perfect escape for travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation…however part of Bequia’s magic is that it’s not the easiest place to stumble upon—you have to know how to get here.
This guide will take you step by step, so your journey to paradise is as smooth (and exciting) as possible.
🛫 Step 1: Fly Into the Caribbean
Bequia doesn’t have a large international airport, so your first stop will be one of the nearby Caribbean hubs. The most common gateways our guests use are:
- Barbados (BGI) – Direct flights from the US, UK, and Canada.
- St. Lucia (UVF) – Convenient for travellers from North America and Europe.
- Grenada (GND) and Trinidad (POS) – Additional options with regional connections.
Most travellers find Barbados the easiest entry point, with several daily connections onward to Bequia.
🛩 Step 2: Connect to Bequia
From your hub, you have two main ways to reach the island:
Option 1: Fly Directly to Bequia
- Regional airlines like SVG Air offer small plane flights straight into Bequia’s J.F. Mitchell Airport (BQU).
- The flight is short (30–40 minutes) but incredibly scenic—think turquoise waters, scattered islands, and jaw-dropping views as you descend.
Option 2: Fly Into St. Vincent + Ferry
- Take a regional flight into St. Vincent’s Argyle International Airport (SVD).
- From there, a scenic one-hour ferry ride will bring you across the sea to Bequia.
- Ferries run several times per day, offering an authentic taste of local island life.
🚤 Step 3: Arrive in Bequia
Once you’ve arrived in Bequia, whether by air or ferry, your Sandrock adventure begins! As you step off the plane or boat into warm breezes, vibrant island colours, and the sparkling ocean all around you, a private Sandrock Villa transfer will be ready and waiting to greet you.
🌴 Some Travel Tips

- Enjoy the Journey: Getting to Bequia is part of the adventure—the flight views and ferry ride are unforgettable experiences themselves.
🏝 Why the Journey Is Worth It
Bequia’s charm lies in its exclusivity. Unlike busier Caribbean islands, the extended journey time getting here keeps it peaceful, authentic, and untouched.
