“This will be my third DXpedition to Palm Island (aka Prune Island) Palm Island is a treat for all those who like relaxing holidays combined with getting close to nature. This is one of the worlds leading tourist destinations. It is a small island situated in the Grenadines and can only be reached via a combination of plane & boat. The island covers an area of 135 acres and has 5 beaches. The island was originally known as the Prune Island, but its name was changed after its original owners, John and Mary Caldwell, planted 1000’s of coconut plants which turned the deserted and isolated island into a wonderful paradise of palm trees, which at the present day manages to capture the imagination of people from all over the world. Over the years the popularity of Palm Island has increase and it currently is a self contained resort catering for up to 80 guests. It has 2 restaurants, spa, bars, tennis courts, swimming pool and much more to keep its guests entertained.”
