Royalty Out of Reach: Princess Margaret's Playground on Mustique

But fear not! For those craving a taste of Mustique without taking out a second mortgage, there's The Cotton House Hotel. It's the island's only boutique hotel, offering luxurious rooms, fine dining, and beach access for a (somewhat) more reasonable price. You won't get the royal villa experience, but you'll still enjoy the exclusivity and charm of Mustique.

And for flights? Choosing premium economy or booking with airlines like Turkish Airlines or Qatar Airways during a sale might shave off some costs.

Les Jolies Eaux is sprawled over 4,05 hectares and costs around $25,000 to $50,000 per week. (Agoda)

Final Thoughts

Princess Margaret may have lived a life of privilege and indulgence, but let's face it---she earned it. Between her royal obligations, personal struggles, and that ever-present press scrutiny, Mustique was her escape, her sanctuary.

For the rest of us, though? We might just have to settle for a good Netflix binge, a fruity drink in hand, and a cheeky daydream of a life less ordinary---with far fewer zeros on the bill.
