This tiny resort island is just a mile from Union Island, where you are met by the resort's private boat and transported to this 135-acre tropical oasis of unhurried rest and stress free relaxation. Originally known as Prune Island, Palm got its current name when former owners, the late John Caldwell (a.k.a Johnny Coconuts) and his wife Mary, planted hundreds of coconut palms, transforming the deserted island into a palm covered resort.

Now a private all-inclusive resort where tranquility reigns, Palm Island is the perfect getaway for people who love natural beauty and want to escape from it all. Surrounded by crystal clear waters and five sparkling white beaches, one of the favorites being Casuarina Beach, which runs the entire length of the western coastline.

The anchorage for Palm Island is located off the west end of Palm Island in the lee of prevailing wind patterns. As evidenced by the image above, the rest ofthe island is surrounded by shallow reefs. Although the island is private, you can land here and enjoy the beach below the high water mark. If you do land ashore, do respect teh privacy and quiet of the hotel residences, however.
